Day 14-Like a child

My Prayer:Psalm 13:5-6 (New International Version)
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.

The Reading: Mark 9-11
Mark 9:23-24 (New International Version)
23" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
24Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

My Thoughts: Now this is a prayer...I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief! The notes in my Bible say: "Since human faith is never perfect, belief and unbelief are often mixed." Later on in the same chapter Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." It has to be taken as a gift. Sometimes I don't understand it all, but I don't have to.
