Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'
It's okay to have doubts while still believing. This father's honest prayer shows that faith and doubt can coexist. God honors our honest struggle and helps us grow stronger in faith.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Faith isn't the absence of doubt—it's confidence despite not seeing everything clearly. God calls us to trust Him even when we can't see the full picture. That's what makes it faith.
