We are strong only when Christ is with us; when He is absent, we are weak: It is all about faith in the Lord!

 

Why could not we cast him out? 

~Mark 9:28

We are strong only when Christ is with us; when He is absent, we are weak: It is all about faith in the Lord! Yes, it is all about faith, we need to have great faith to do what Jesus asks of us, like He did to the disciples. All things are possible with Him! Our weak faith can hinder us for sure! 

The Mornings With God App  today said, "The disciples struggled and failed that night while Jesus was away from them. When a father brought his son, possessed by a demon, to them for healing, they were unable to cast it out. We are strong only when Christ is with us; when He is absent, we are weak. But the disciples didn’t need to fail in their attempt. Jesus rebuked them for their lack of faith. The father, too, showed little faith when he said, “If You can do anything, help us.” Jesus responded, “If you can? All things are possible to those who believe.” The father’s weak faith hindered his son’s healing. Our lack of faith can also keep blessings from others. This should be a sobering thought—that our unbelief could prevent someone else from receiving a blessing. Our prayer should be like the father’s: “I believe; help my unbelief.” With faith, Christians can do what seems impossible." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/september/17

I liked this message today on the Mornings with God App. It is true it is all about faith. We just need to put all our trust in Him! Surrender to and abandon ourselves to His will be done. Ask Him to guide, lead, bring us to where we need to be. Ask for His wisdom and knowledge, but most importantly for stronger faith and trust in Him! As with Him, all is possible, when we live in spirit and have Christ in us, we are made strong, that is why great faith in the Lord is one of the most important things we can ask for, even more than knowledge. Faith is what is the most important think for all humans on this Earth School to get through all we may face. We serve a loving God for sure. He wants to be part of our lives if we let Him in, if we believe in Him, trusting and having great faith! That is what matters most!
