USCSI REFLECTIONS

Mark 9:14-29

In this passage, we can get lost in the story of the possessed man, but what catches my attention is the interaction between Jesus and his disciples. It begins and ends with his disciples. They had just experienced a great moment of prayer, yet they failed in their ministry because of their lack of prayer or the right kind of prayer. They still were not in full relationship with God.
