I want to believe, help me overcome my unbelief

Jesus asked Peter "Why do you doubt?"

I assumed Peter himself did not know why he doubted at the moment, when the winds started to blow and the waves got stronger.

Many of us will echo what the father whose son was suffering from epilepsy was pleading "I want to believe, help me overcome my unbelief!"

Often, we can have faith on behalf of another person as it is distant, it is not us, we can apply the universal principle of faith of the God in the Bible we know.
I guess for Peter it is because his pant is on fire, he is the one standing on the water.
But when it is our backyard on fire, I guess we will share the plea of the man above.
