Mark 9:24: 'Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, I believe; help my unbelief!'
His son was being destroyed by an evil spirit. He asked Jesus for help — 'if you can.'
Jesus pressed him on the 'if.' The father's response is the most honest line in scripture.
I believe. And also — I don't believe enough. Help me.
Jesus didn't reject him for the weak faith. He healed the boy. Bring your real faith level. He works with what you have.
