Faith

Faith: Faith is an interesting thing. There are times you can feel your faith is very strong, and other times you may find yourself questioning your faith. The thing I have found, is that if we are honest, most of the time that has way more to do with the "subject" than our actual faith. There are times I feel like a "double minded man" because I am telling people I am trusting God and I am praying about the issue, but then when I ask God to search my heart He will bring that very thing to the surface and ask if I "really" trust Him. That is when I find that my mind and my heart are at conflict with each other. My heart trusts God, but my human way of thinking wants to say, "is that even possible?". It is in those times I find it best to be as real and honest with God as possible. It is in those times I can relate to the man in Mark 9 that is asking Jesus to raise his daughter back from the dead. He obviously had belief or he would not have been asking Jesus to do the seemingly impossible. But he also recognized that he was struggling with the unbelief of "is what I am asking even possible?". And the best thing he did was say to Jesus "Lord I believe; help my unbelief".
I am praying for the "seemingly impossible", and I encourage you to do the same. Believe with all the heart you have, and then ask God to supply the rest. If we are honest with Him, He will help us fully believe. I know God loves nothing more than to show us that NOTHING is impossible for Him. With each thing we allow Him to prove that with, He gains more honor and more glory. But He needs us to get "out of the way" in our human way of thinking and trust Him to do what only He can do! He wants to show us that miracles and healing still happens every day! Believe it!
