Song

So Help My Unbelief

DoubtUncertaintyTrustFaith

A 3 a.m. prayer, a doubt kept hidden under the floorboards, and a wrestling match that lasts all night by the river — this devotional follows one honest, unresolved cry to God through seven days, from Jacob's own wrestling match to the quiet, sufficient hope of still being here when the sun comes up.

"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
Mark 9:24

So Help My Unbelief

[Verse 1]
It's 3 a.m. and I'm talking to the ceiling
Same prayer I've been sending for a year
They say You live inside the silence
But the silence just sounds empty from down here
I still know every word they taught me
I just don't know if the words still know me

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna say this out loud
But You already heard it anyhow

[Chorus]
I believe — so help my unbelief
That's the only prayer I've got left in me
If You're real, be real right here in the dark
I'm not letting go, I'm just wrestling hard
I believe — so help my unbelief

[Verse 2]
I kept the doubt under the floorboards
Smiled on Sunday like it wasn't there
But faith that's never once been shaken
Might just be a faith that never had to care
So here it is — the whole ugly question
Do it with me watching, or don't do it at all

[Chorus]
I believe — so help my unbelief
That's the only prayer I've got left in me
If You're real, be real right here in the dark
I'm not letting go, I'm just wrestling hard
I believe — so help my unbelief

[Bridge]
There was a man alone down by the river
Who fought a stranger till the breaking of the day
He walked away limping — but he walked away different
He said "I won't let go until You bless me"
So I won't let go

[Final Chorus]
I believe — so help my unbelief
You're the only prayer I've got left in me
If You're real, be real right here in the dark
I'm not letting go — that's what wrestling is
I believe — so help my unbelief

[Outro]
It's almost daylight
I'm still here
