Mark 11:22-24

"Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

Jesus is talking to his disciples. Peter is talking previous to this about the fig tree that Jesus had cursed. The tree had withered away. Jesus is telling his disciples and us first that we must have faith in God. God hears our petitions when we pray. If we have faith that our prayers are going to be answered all we need is faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed. A mustard seed is the smallest seed. When we pray we pray believing that what we ask for will come to pass.

When we come in prayer, believing what we are asking for God already knows what we have need of. We want to be careful of what we ask for. We must realize that if we ask for things that we have no need of our prayer may not be answered in the way we want. Some times we ask for things and get something else. That is because God in his infinite wisdom knows what we need in our walk with him.

Dear Lord, thank you that we can come to you and bring our petitions before you. Father as we come we give you praise. Father we know that you know even before we ask what we have need of. Bless my children this morning and my grandchildren. I love you Lord Jesus. Amen
