THINK ABOUT IT
The father in this story loved his suffering son desperately, and he believed in Jesus' power to heal. Yet he was honest enough to admit that doubt still tugged at his heart. He confessed his belief through tears, even as he pleaded for help with the doubt that still clung to him. Notice what Jesus did not do: He did not scold the man or send him away.
He healed the boy anyway. Like this father, your faith will not always feel perfect or unshakable. There will be days when you trust God fully and days when questions creep in. Take heart—Jesus understands your weaknesses completely, and He is not offended by your honesty. He warmly invites you to bring Him your doubts, just as they are, and to ask for His help in strengthening the faith that wavers.
