My heart panteth, my strength faileth me.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

When (Peter) saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? — If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. — He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. — The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. — Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power.

Mark 9:14-29

“The people…were greatly amazed” — Why? And what (if anything) amazes people about me?

“Thy disciples…could not” — Why not? And did Jesus expect better of them? More importantly, what of God’s assigned work am I not able to do? And what’s the solution?

“O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?” — I want Jesus with me as long as I need Him!

“Have compassion on us, and help us” — not on my merits, but on Christ’s alone. How sharp and everpresent is my awareness of my need of His compassion and help?

“All things are possible to him that believeth” — Too often my faith struggles to believe the fullness of that applies even to me. Am I prone to surrender my unbelief to God or to wallow miserably in it? “I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”

“Enter no more into him” — Free indeed!

Why should I fast?
