Pre-birthday Celebration + Illustration

It's an amazing coincidence that on the eve of September 23, 2015, my pastor friend shared a verse from Mark 9:23. September is the 9th month of the year and the verse is of the same date.
Also, Mark 9:24, which is has a chapter and verse similar to September 24 (my actual birthday) is the exact prayer that I usually utter: "Cure me of my unbelief, Lord!"
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
Mark 9:23-24
