Immediately the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief!"
Our walk with God requires faith.
(Mark 9:24
NRSV)
Let's suppose you have made a miraculous recovery from cancer. The doctors had sewn you up
and sent you home and said there's nothing more we can do for you. Six weeks--maybe six
months at the outside, but don't make any long-term plans. But your friends began to pray for
you--by the way there are scientific studies that indicate that prayer can make a difference--your
friends begin to pray for you, your spouse begins to pray for you, people at church begin to pray
for you and six months later you return to the doctor's office and there's no sign of the cancer.
And the doctor shakes his head and says, "Some times this happens. We know that a certain
number of cancer patients are going to experience spontaneous remission. We don't know why."
In your own mind and heart, you know why--but proof? No, none that will convince a skeptical
scientific community. There is no such thing as absolute evidence of the existence of God. If you
require such evidence, you will be disappointed.
Dear God, take away my scepticism as I build my faith in you through Jesus Christ my Lord and
Savior. Amen.
