God Answers Prayers of Faith
Backgrounder on Matthew 20-23:
After Peter’s dramatic confession
of Jesus as “the Christ, the Son
of the living God”, Jesus told his
disciples he must go to Jerusalem,
suffer many things, be killed and
raised again the third day (16:21).
After preparing His disciples for
the unexpected events, Jesus
arrived at Jerusalem to a hero’s
welcome, hailed as King while
making His humble entrance.
Lord, we’ll ask with believing heart:
Jesus said: Assuredly I say to you,
if you Have Faith and do not doubt,
you will not only do what was done
to the fig tree, but also if you say
to this mountain: Be removed and
Be cast into the sea, it will be done.
And whatever things you ask
in prayer, Believing you will
receive (Matt 21:21-22). Amen.
Lord, take away all unbelief in me.
And Increase my faith to believe
for great things. Help me to have
faith enough to not pray too small.
I know it is not about trusting
in faith itself; but rather trusting
in You. It’s also not about believing
in my own ability to believe, but
rather it is believing in Your ability
and promise to answer. Amen.
Lord, help us not think that some
problems are too big and hence best considered as lost causes.
Help us not to focus on the size
of the mountain but rather how
much power U Creator God have.
Lord, I leave my mountain in
Your hands. You can do as U will.
My mountain is not too big for U.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
God cannot move it
There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it
He said, “Come on to me
all who are weary
And I will give you rest” Amen.
