Jesus teaches His disciples that it's the object of your faith, not the amount. Often our problems stem from us putting our faith in others, not God. He also tells His followers not to doubt. Don't let the wavering nature of the heart over take your confidence in God. He uses the radical example of moving a mountain to show how serious Jesus is. Commentators debate if Jesus is referring to a physical mountain or to something in your life that seems impossible to us. While God promises the disciples that whatsoever they ask of Him in prayer they will receive. God promises to answer the prayers of those who abides in Him(John 15:7); who keep His commandments(1 John 3:22); not looking for an answer to please ourselves(James 4:3); who has forgiven others who have offended us(Matthew 6:15); according to God's will(1 John 5:13-15). As we pray w/in those parameters, we have to pray in faith believing(Hebrews 11:6). Don't doubt God's ability. This may be the toughest lesson we have to learn. Doubt multiples troubles into overwhelming problems. Just because God doesn't answer in our time line doesn't negate His ability. Satan introduced doubt in the garden to bring down Adam & Eve. Rehearse to yourself what makes God great when you face doubt. So how is your prayer life? Run through the check list. Be open to God & be ready for Him to peal back the layers. Consider partnering w/a prayer partner. For each other & for the needs of the body.
