Lord, I Believe; Help Thou Mine Unbelief | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Mark 9:14–29, built around the words: “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (Mark 9:24).

Walk a numbered map from the mountain path to a boy lifted by the hand, then look closer at the empty hands, the beckoning hand, the tear, the flame and the prayer. Context, Greek words and modern prophets help, while the focus stays on the Savior, who answers honest, imperfect faith with His hand.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the mountain, the argument, the father, the empty hands, the beckoning hand, the tear, the flame, the lift and the prayer
• Where are you? Worried for someone, faith and doubt together, a small faith, or lifted up, with check-ins
• Hold on to faith: finish each line, then add your own
• Their world, their words: from the mountain, since childhood, the father’s words turned back, prayer and fasting, and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets teach about faith that grows
• Seek Him today: a question to ask in prayer, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Family home evening
