We come to how it is possible for a man or woman of faith to require help with unbelief. What is it that will cause me to come to Jesus and say, Lord, I believe; help my unbelief? For one thing, if you did not believe, you would not be coming to Jesus. Definitely, you would not be referring to Him as Lord. So you do believe is why Jesus is your Lord. So, how about the ‘help my unbelief’ part? How does that jibe with your being a man of faith?
These are all very great questions and until we truly get it, we may hide our need for help with unbelief. Let me use myself as an example here and I don’t do this often. However, sorting out this seeming paradox is sufficiently important for me to break my own rules. Being a medical doctor, I am aware of the sinister nature of every symptom in my body. Every cough, every blood stain, every cramp that a non-doctor would overlook throws me into panic mode.
