Lord I believe help my unbelief

[FreeinChrist]

In Mark 9:24 we see a man replying with this statement, to Jesus who said all things are possible to him that believeth.  Mark 9:23

 

So now I come to a point where I don't want to presume something is the will of God, but don't want to miss it if it is.  And I know that God can do anything, but my flesh keeps telling me how I don't deserve anything good from God.  I know that Jesus loved me, and has forgiven me, but other than that my faith is so weak and I missed the days when I first came to Christ, and had so great of childlike faith.

 

 

Please pray for me, to regain that childlike faith I once had.

Duggarfan.... Do you remember back when you first heard the gospel and realized that you were a sinner and that The Lord Jesus was the only way to be saved?  Remember how you fell in love with Him and you were saved by His grace? The Lord became your firstlove and you must have thought about Him all the time and wanted to talk about Him a lot too...remember? Remember how much you leaned on Him and took everything to Him in prayer? You must have prayed on a daily basis ...just as a child would talk to his father...you believed with all your heart that He loved you dearly ..you had the faith in Him as a child does .
So what has happened ..perhaps you have come to rely on yourself instead of Him because just perhaps you have left your first love and in doing so let some of your faith slip away.
Go back Duggarfan  back to the cross ...... and remember...and regain that which you once had with your Lord...... I will be praying for you my bro. The Lord never leaves us ..its we who wander away from Him.

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  The Holy Spirit will strengthen you and renew your faith.  Speaking with other believers like you are doing right now will also strengthen you.

 

We all struggle with faith at times and, speaking for myself here, will find I have neglected my scriptures.  If you don't feel like reading then listen to some of the thousands of sermons available on the internet.

 

Something I keep in mind is not to be a reed in the wind.  It is very easy to get into a cycle of belief and unbelief.  You may even be under attack by demonic forces pushing their evil agenda.  Don't be swayed by every wind that blows your way.  Remember we don't base our relationship with Jesus on our fleshly feelings but by what God has said.

The link below is to several articles that address salvation/eternal security/doubting salvation, etc. Thought you might find some benefit by reading some of them.

We all have times of unbelief.  I trust God enough to know that He understands me and loves me in spite of myself.  I too over the years have said many times.  "Lord I believe but help my unbelief"  He honors honesty.

Thank you all for the kind words ad advice.  Just need to learn it is in Christ Righteousness, not my own, that I can stand before the Father.

Blessings Duggar!

        My prayers usually have ,somewhere in there,"Lord ,help me to be like I was when I was 5yrs old...all I could think about was You"........it's not just you Duggar,everyone goes through times where we step away for a moment......the enemy causes distractions, worldly influence,neglecting to read His Word,not praying,busyness, lack of focus,(a million & one things)but as His own,God has convicted your heart & is calling You near......pick yourself up my brother,dust yourself off & begin with what you know(not what you feel).......read Ephesians,putting on the full armor of God & turn to the Psalms & praise & Worship God(He inhabits our praise)Enter into His Presence & He will draw You unto Himself....I am praying for you,my Brother

                                                                                                   With love,in Christ-Kwik

 

I plead the Blood of Jesus over you,Duggar and in His Mighty Name I pray!
