“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”24The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit?”29Jesus replied, “This kind can be cast out only by prayer.

But they didn’t know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Lord God my Father,

I am overcome by doubt, help me to have only one focus thru your ability in me. Give me strength to turn from my thoughts and allow your desire to be my guide. Open my heart to understand and help me to see your essence in every part of this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
