![]() Jesus’ response was that this man had the greatest faith in the whole country of Israel (Matthew 8:8-10)! The more we know and experience Jesus, and the more we begin to understand that all authority over heaven and earth has been given to Him (Matthew 28:18) and that through Him we, too, have power over evil (Luke 10:19), we will begin to pray bold prayers full of faith! The girl’s father knew this because he recognized and believed in Jesus’ authority. He told Jesus that he knew that all it took was a simple word from Jesus, and she would be healed. Recently, the same longing in my heart - for an increase in faith - led me to a story in the Bible about a man who needed Jesus to heal his daughter. I know that I should believe without doubting (Mark 11:23) and that faith can move mountains (Matthew 17:20), but I often find myself struggling to come up with the faith I need! The father in this story asked Jesus to help him overcome his unbelief, and as we look at his example, we should feel free to ask for more faith, too! Here, I love the father’s honest response to Jesus and can identify with his struggle. In these verses and many others, we see that believing is fundamental for seeing breakthrough in life.
