small struggles

 

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!’
—Mark 9:24 (ESV)
 
Sometimes our faith doesn’t feel bold or confident. It feels quiet. Fragile. Sometimes it feels like it’s barely holding together at all.
This verse has always spoken to me because of its honesty. The father doesn’t pretend his faith is strong. He doesn’t clean up his words or hide his doubts. He simply tells the truth: I believe… but I’m struggling. And Jesus doesn’t turn him away.
Faith often looks like showing up with what little we have and trusting God to meet us there. It’s not about having all the answers or feeling unwavering confidence. It’s about being willing to say, “Lord, this is where I am.”
Small faith placed in a big God is still faith.
If your belief feels thin today—stretched by fear, uncertainty, or exhaustion—take heart. God is not measuring the size of your faith. He is responding to your heart. Even whispered prayers, even shaky trust, even tears mixed with belief are enough for Him to work with.
You don’t have to be strong to come to Him. You just have to come.
