I am wholeheartedly praying this prayer this morning:
Lord, help me to believe that Your promise is as true as the performance of Your promise. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" -- Mark 9:24
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
Grateful

Lord I believe, Help thou my unbelief.” This is a prayer that I often find myself praying. Is it just me? I find that nearly every difficulty, every trouble in my life boils down to my unbelief, my lack of rock solid, to-the-death faith in my Lord.
I’m not saying that I won’t have any trials if I simply believe, that everyone I love would be healthy or that the car wouldn’t break down. I am saying that my discontent, my worry, my wrong actions are often rooted in my basic unbelief.
Indeed. Faith in the Lord always helps me more than faith in His performance. Maybe this shows a lack of my faith in His promises. But I think it's more of a lack of faith in my understanding of some of them. It's a difference of what God can do vs will do. I believe He CAN do ANYTHING. I just sometimes don't have a clue what He WILL do. That's when I have to say "Lord, it's in Your hands" and trust the outcome to Him.
Mark
I want to be a seeker of Him and be willing totally to trust Him with His mysterious plans regardless of the blessings He gives or withholds. I have heard it said that to receive God's blessings apart from His presence will destroy us.
Yes, help my unbelief.
