Mark 9:24 is set in the context of a father’s love for his sick child, “Lord I believe, help my unbelief.”  The father’s child has been troubled by an evil spirit since he was young.  The father has tried many things.  He even brought his child to the disciples, but they were unable to help.

He believes but he is struggling.  Christians experience these moments.  I believe, you are God, you are able, but – I am struggling.  My issue, my struggles are still there.  I need help. 

The prayer of a doubting heart is honest, it is simple, it is sometimes uttered in pain.  However, it also recognizes that God is my everything, I have nowhere else to turn.  “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.”

Godly Mothers are always there.  They won’t give up on us no matter what.  Through the baby years, through the teen years and even as adults they continue to believe in us and to be there for us.  Give them the Tribute they deserve.

In this great big world of ours it is easy to feel insignificant.  It is easy to think that what we do doesn’t matter.  The truth is we all have influence on someone.  This is true no matter what our status in life.  We have families, we have friends, we have people who look at us that we don’t even know.  That chance encounter with the store clerk or fast food (drive through) worker.  Maybe we even have enemies who are looking.  We don’t know who’s looking but we all have influence and we have more influence than we think.

Roller coasters can be scary maybe even terrifying.  But in a few minutes the ride is over, and you can relax.  Sustained Unease is that emotional discomfort that just hangs on.  It’s not terrifying but it is uncomfortable and leaves us uneasy.  And it lingers.  Can God help us in these times.  Yes, in any time He is there, and He is our comfort.

When our lives are shaken and fear wants to overtake us, Is God big enough to help.  He is not a god we can force to do what we want but He is big enough to help.

Proverbs 1:7 tells us that the "Fear of The Lord is the foundation of true knowledge..."  What does this mean and how are we to respond?  Tune in and let's see
