“I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
Did you know that in Jesus we see what we are intended to be? Yes that’s true. We do not become God, but the full image of God. Was Jesus crazy when He said more than once, that if we believe, we can do what He did? Was he lying? Was He just using hyperole? Or did he simply mean what He said.
Jesus tells us what it is that we need . . . .to . . .
a. Believe
b. Pray
Believing requires the practice of a God inspired imagination. Practice seeing beyond this material world. Practice seeing the power of God which permeates all aspects of creation. And pray. Find a way to pray that works for you. As long as prayer connects you with God, elevates Jesus, submits you to God’s power, and humbles you into believing obedience then your praying is effective. And pray and don’t give up (Luke 18:1)
Your comment of "seeing beyond this material world" really struck me. We cannot see beyond this material world, but God can! So when are prayers focus on "beyond this material world", we are asking for His will to be done, and He hears us.
