If our faith wavers, let us ask for help.

At these times it becomes very difficult to believe and place trust in God, do not worry, simply kneel down and cry out to God for help and he will give you everything you need.

Jesus asked the father: How long has this been happening to him? And he said: Since he was a child. 22 And often he casts him into the fire and into the water, to kill him; but if you can do anything, have mercy on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. 24 And immediately the father of the boy cried out and said: I believe; help my unbelief.

Mark 9:21-24

Faith and the implementation of this is fundamental, God is attentive to all our words and desires of the heart, everything we ask God for at night and works accordingly, there are times when our faith wavers and this has a great impact on our lives. For example:

There are times when we cry out to God for direction and guidance, we can immediately receive the answer to our prayer and at the same time we can think: "I can't do this." This, instead of leading us to ask God to give us the strength and help us obey Him and follow the path that has delayed us, we can also choose to put into play what God does not answer and postpone all action in this regard.

When our faith falters, is weakened, we must obey or follow a plan partially, it is simply like not doing it, all this leads us to make decisions that are not correct. We have the example of the nation of Israel that has allowed its unbelief to take place instead of its faith allowing it to pay errantly for 40 years in the desert, this caused them not to enjoy for that period the blessings that God had prepared for them, all the plans that God had have been postponed by their unbelief and their decision.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

This picture of our wavering faith is not going to an unstable state, risks are no longer an option, we simply look for insurance and our decisions are limited to what we believe is only possible, instead many times God asks us to take risks that we can only carry out with the use of faith. Instead of taking the right steps based on God's promises and the faith placed in Him, we simply question and doubt what we are going to do or what God speaks to us, all this causes us not to enjoy the walk, that is to say: our joy is not optimal, perhaps we even stop feeling peace for the decisions we make without being supported by faith and it becomes a vicious circle of bad decisions and our faith progressively weakens.
This is not a mortal sin, nor is it something that conditions us forever. We are human beings and our faith can falter, but the important thing is that in those moments God is also ready to listen to our cry. Our part is to assume that weakness that we have and get closer to God, to cry out so that He strengthens our faith and our part is to nourish it through the word of God.
