Tremble In Our Trust
(Mark 9: 24/KJV) And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou unbelief.

My prayer is that all believers – the new and the seasoned – will grow to the place where we will more readily give God our affirmation that we believe in His mighty power over our difficult situations from the very moment trouble arise! But until we each reach that place in our relationship God, there is no shame in the physical and emotional distress we experience when we choose to believe with our eyes of faith but we struggle with what our physical eyes show us. A little tremble in our trust loosens the restraints that hinder us from leaning in on God versus remaining stagnant in unbelief. God uses every effort of our faith that we direct toward Him to pull us in closer. So don’t think our shakes and tears are signs of weakness. Instead, they are signs that the will of our believing spirit is overcoming the will of our flesh. When we lean in on God, He will deliver us from our unbelief.
