God can only help us if we are willing to believe in Him and allow ourselves to be helped. Without the assent of faith, He will not perform mighty deeds for us. It is not that He does not want to help or heal us, but rather that we will not allow him to do so. God will not force us to know, love, or serve Him. We must choose to do these things ourselves and if we don’t, then we like the people of Nazareth will not have any share in His love, mercy, or grace.
Do we believe that God will help us physically, spiritually, or emotionally? Do we allow God to work His mighty deeds in our lives or do we try to fix everything ourselves? When we have trouble understanding God’s Will, do we pray for the humility to accept His Plan for us?
O Lord, if our faith is lacking, then help us build it up through trusting in you no matter our anxieties or doubts.
Amen.
