Have Faith

Numerous verses in the Bible teach us that we must have faith when we pray.  May you be encouraged and inspired by those included below!

Hebrews 11:6 ~ “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.”

Matthew 21:22 ~ “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

Mark 11:22-24 ~ “And Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.’”

James 1:5-7 ~ “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”

Many times in the Bible, Jesus miraculously healed people because of their faith.  He answered the cry of their heart because of their faith.

Mark 5:34 ~ “And He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.’"

Luke 17:19 ~ “And He said to him, ‘Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.’"

Luke 18:42 ~ “Jesus said to him, ‘Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.’"

Let us too have faith that can move mountains!  May we too ask in faith, with no doubting.  And then “this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him” (1 John 4:14-15).
