The Most Honest Prayer in the Bible Has 5 Words | Mark 9

The most honest prayer in the Bible has five words — and it begins with a doubt. 🙏 A desperate father looked at Jesus and said: "If You can..." And Jesus did not walk away. In Mark 9:14–28, this father prays the prayer of someone who believes and doubts at the same time: "I believe; help my unbelief!" And there is a word hidden in his request that changes the way you pray when your faith is weak. In this devotional: the chaos at the foot of the mountain, the disciples who could not, "If You can" and Jesus' answer, what "help" means in Greek, why everything looked worse right after the prayer, and why small faith in the hands of a great God is enough.
