Day 1: Help My Unbelief

Mark 9:14-29 E24

To begin our 40 days of prayer, we start with Jesus. In this story, Jesus does something that the disciples cannot: he heals a boy possessed by a demon. While there are many things to focus on in this scripture (types of demons and possession, for example), on this day we want to look at the father's statement:

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

We are praying for a church plant to be successful. There have already been snags, and there will be doubts along the way. It is important to understand, day one, that these doubts are not going to cause our dream to be unsuccessful. Jesus gives things to those that have faith, even faith its self.

Today, pray that God will give us faith as we bring our request before Him: the faith that He will hear our prayers, and the faith to continue praying.
