The greatest ingredient to strong faith is HONESTY – truthfully admitting “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24).  Faith is being authentic and honest with ourselves and God, constantly communicating with him, whether or not we feel strong.  When we’re doing it right, faith is real and raw. Faith is constantly asking God to help us believe, inviting Him into the situation and trying not to “will” it to happen in our own strength. Faith isn’t perfect.  Faith can even be messy. Mine certainly is.
