I remember a few weeks ago, I was irrationally scared. Thoughts of fear kept coming into my mind and even though I knew they weren’t true and based on God’s Word, I couldn’t seem to shake my fear.
Maybe you’ve experienced something similar. Where you keep having thoughts that aren’t Biblical. And those thoughts cause you to be upset even though you know they’re not true.
So how do we combat thoughts when they don’t make sense, but feel so real? Here’s what I did. I went to the verse in Mark 9 that is today’s Bible verse.
The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” – Mark 9:24 (NLT)
And I asked God to do the same thing for me as that father did. I said God, help my unbelief. I do believe you and I believe your word is true, but for whatever reason, I’m still struggling in this area. Guess what? God helped me. After a few days, I was less afraid as I reminded myself of the truths found in God’s word.
And so, if you’re facing something where it just seems hard to believe, don’t forget to go to God and ask Him for His help. He can help you in the areas where you’re weak and need Him.
