Let's say an adult who is slow at understanding has been diligently seeking God for 20 years. And after 20 years of failing to have assurance he cries out, "Lord, just give me some faith in you!"
Notice the person didn't say "more faith," but "some faith." In other words, he probably feels like he doesn't have any at all.
Does this sound like someone who actually already has faith, or someone who is void of faith altogether?
One one hand he has sought the Lord for 2 decades, feeling unsuccessful he assumes he has no faith at all, and of all people he cries for faith to is the Lord himself.
On the other hand, it has been 20 years, and maybe this person has no connection whatsoever. Maybe his claim of having no faith is certain.
