In Matthew 17:20 Jesus told his disciples they could pray powerful intercessory prayers if they had enough faith. “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” (Matthew 17:20-21)
Many of us are praying for some type of healing for our child, that might look unlikely in the here and now. So, how can we bolster our faith - such that we see mountain moving miracles? To completely tap into the transformative power of faith, we must fully give ourselves over to God by watering our “seed” through trust, patience, and persistence. In Mark 9: 22-24 The father of the little boy who needed healing asked Jesus: “Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.” “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” And Jesus completely healed his son.
Prodigal Son Prayer:
How to Water Your Faith
Two things you can do to water your faith:
- Bring to mind the prayers that God has already answered. Although my boys are not yet worshipping God, they have both been delivered from addiction. That is such a huge answered prayer! How can I not have faith that God will also answer my other prayers for them?
- Ask God to “Help your Unbelief.” Just like the father in Mark 9 did, you can ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you more faith. In Galatians 5:22–23, the bible tells us that the gifts that the Holy Spirit stands ready to impart to you are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If your faith feels weak, ask God for more!
With the smallest amount of true, unwavering faith, even the largest things are possible. God's timing is perfect; keep your focus on watering the mustard seed, rather than on the results you seek, and the answer will come.
