“I do believe, help my unbelief!” This heart-felt cry from a father seeking Jesus to cure his son is one that we can relate to. How often we turn to God but are unsure of the divine response. Recall that the opposite of faith is not doubt but certainty. Faith always implies a risk as when we simply have to trust that the rope will hold, the chute will open, the bag will inflate. With God that trust is even more necessary because God always wants what is best for us, even when it is not what we think is what’s best! That faith of Jesus in Gethsemane shows us the way: “God if it is possible … but not my will but thine be done.”
