“If you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
Jesus said to him, “Why do you say, ‘If you can?’
All things are possible for one who believes.”
Immediately, the father of the boy cried out,
“I do believe, but help the little faith I have.”
Jesus saw that the crowd was increasing rapidly,
so he ordered the evil spirit,
“Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you:
Leave the boy and never enter him again.”
The evil spirit shook and convulsed the boy
and with a terrible shriek came out.
The boy lay like a corpse and people said, “He is dead.”
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him;
and the boy stood up.
---- mine,
Prayers come up to the Throne of God and to Me incessantly from parents for their children who are in all kinds of difficulty, both spiritually, physically, and in so many other ways. Your tears, groans, your grief, and fears are seen by God. This is why I urge you, do not pray as if you had no hope, but pray with faith and confidence that all you ask for in prayer will be given to you. What do you think? Your heavenly Father is unmoved by the cries of His little ones? Why do you suppose He sent Me into the world as one like you? He wanted you to know that there is nothing that you undergo in your human condition that I have not undergone and experienced. I know all, I understand all, and this is why I can intercede for you before My Father, with moans and groans too deep for words. There is nothing, ---- my own, that you suffer or that any parents in the world suffer that God does not understand and suffer right along with you. Like the father in these verses who was desperate for his son to be healed, come to Me with the little faith you have, say with him, "I believe, help My unbelief." And I say to you what I said to him, "Why do you say, if I can. I AM God and nothing is impossible for Me." Once again, I assure you that I have answered your prayers and you will know that I AM God and you will all together praise and glorify Me and give glory to My Father in heaven. I have taken each of them by the hand. I have raised them up as I raised Lazarus. I will do for you what I do for all who come to Me; I will hear and I will answer. Continue to ask, seek, and knock, and all you ask for with the little faith that you have, you will receive.
