Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The disciples failed and Jesus did not. Where does the power actually come from?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • The father admits he believes and doubts at the same time. Is it all right to tell God that?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What would you say if you prayed the father's prayer this week? Say it.

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is struggling to believe? What would you tell them about this father?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, the father said, "I believe — help my unbelief," and you helped him anyway. That is exactly how I feel. Thank you for not needing me to be sure first.
