If You Have Faith

Scripture:

Matthew 21:22 "You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it."

Observation:

Jesus had just cursed a fig tree in front of His disciples and it withered right in front of them.  They asked Him how it withered so quickly and His reply was that "if you have faith" you can move mountains and "if you pray for anything", you will receive it because you have faith.

Application:

Jesus simply told His disciples they could ask for anything and if they had faith, it would be done for them.  He didn't go into much detail about what that faith looks like or how to develop that faith.  He just said, "if you have faith".  It takes faith to be saved, so we all have some faith if we are born again.  I want to increase my faith and see more prayers answered.

Prayer:

Father, increase my faith.  I fully and completely believe Your Word.  I trust the words of Jesus and many times He said things like this.  Help me to walk by faith and to see my prayers answered.  I want to live a life that pleases You and I know faith pleases you.  Increase my faith!

Yours,
Jeff
