A Prayer for Faith (When Yours Feels Small)
The father in the Gospel who asked Jesus to heal his son said the most honest prayer in the Bible: "I believe; help thou mine unbelief." This one is like that.
The prayer
Lord Jesus,
I believe. Help me where I don't.
I have prayed for years for one thing and I am not sure I still know how.
Come and rekindle a small faith the way you fanned a small flame.
Do not shame me for how much has cooled.
Meet me tonight the way you met the father who asked you plainly.
Amen.
The verse behind it
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench.
When to say it
- In a pew you sat in for years and no longer feel at home in.
- In the parking lot of a church, before or after.
- When someone asks you how your faith is and you cannot answer.
Send it as a film
If someone you love is in a season where their faith is small, a film that reminds them Jesus knows their name is a kind gift. A Prayer Film in Jesus's Voice, with their name in it.
