Have you ever had one of those weeks where a phrase, a word, or a verse stays on repeat? Where no matter who you talk to, where you look, or what you’re listening too somehow it appears?
Well that was me last week!
The phrase was actually a verse. It was …. “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.”
This verse is found in Mark 9:24. The background story is of a father who comes to Jesus asking him to heal his son who has been tormented by demons since childhood. At one point the father tells Jesus the demon “has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” Jesus replies “If you can? Everything is possible for one who believes.”
To which the father immediately replies “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.” Then Jesus casts the demon out and heals the boy.
A friend of mine told me this story last Thursday night, I didn’t think it applied to me. But then I heard it again on Friday and again on Sunday morning. Usually when the Lord brings something like that up more than once it means he’s trying to teach me something.
So I pressed in a bit, prayed about it and realized that God was showing me something. I DO struggle with unbelief.
I believe wholeheartedly that God is going to give us another baby and that it will be naturally. But there is still a little side of me that self protects, that just in case it doesn’t happen I can say … well.. I had a feeling.
In poker terms, I’m not all in. I’m still holding onto a little bit and he wants me to be all in for him. And you know what, I want to be too! So Sunday morning, me and God had a talk and I told him. “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.” It’s a daily process of giving him my complete trust and belief, but so worth it!
Is there anything you aren’t believing the Lord for? Marriage Restoration, restoration of a wayward child, physically healing, emotional healing. Why are you holding back? He created the universe, surely he can change your situation. Press into him and believe! Just some Monday morning thoughts.
So one of my favorite appliances at our house, besides the spiralizer is our panini press. It’s my go to appliance when I want a quick tasty sandwich. In my opinion all sandwiches are better when they are toasted and smushed! 🙂
This Grilled Chicken Fajita Sandwich is filled with flavor! The chicken in this sandwich is rubbed down with my favorite spice rub and then grilled for a nice smokey flavor. Fajitas aren’t complete without grilled peppers and onions, and neither is this sandwich! To finish off this show stopper of a sandwich I surrounded the chicken fajitas with creamy fontina cheese and zesty chimichurri!
This sandwich is out of control good! I can guarantee there will be no left overs with this one! Bon Appetit my friends!
