Lord, Help My Unbelief | Faith, Prayer & Depending on Jesus

Aug 23, 2026    Dr. Shea Shrader

In Mark 9:14–29, Jesus comes down from the Mount of Transfiguration and walks straight into a desperate situation: a suffering son, a hurting father, defeated disciples, and a problem no one seems able to solve.

The father cries out one of the most honest prayers in Scripture:

“I believe; help my unbelief!” — Mark 9:24

This message, “Lord, Help My Unbelief,” looks at what Jesus teaches us about faith, doubt, prayer, and our complete dependence upon Him. Our greatest need is not better circumstances, stronger methods, or more human ability. Our greatest need is to depend completely upon Jesus.

In this sermon from Mark 9:14–29, we discover:

• We are powerless without Christ. Yesterday’s victory cannot replace today’s dependence on Jesus.

• Our problem is not Christ’s ability, but our unbelief. The question is never whether Jesus is able.

• We can bring Jesus both our faith and our doubt. Weak faith in a strong Savior is better than strong confidence in ourselves.

• Spiritual power comes through dependence upon God. Prayer says, “God, I cannot, but You can.”

Maybe you are facing something today that looks impossible. You have worried about it, prayed about it, tried to fix it, and carried it long enough.

Jesus’ invitation is still the same:

“Bring it to Me.”

Your faith does not have to be perfect. Bring what faith you have to a perfect Savior and pray:

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.”
