Scripture: Mark 11: 22-23

And Jesus answering saith unto them, 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.

Scripture Commentary: Have faith in God to meet your needs

Many people ask God why He hasn’t answered their prayer although they’ve been praying it for a long time.

What are you praying for?  Is it for money, a car, house, or it for something else?

God will answer your prayers if you are a believer.  Don’t pray with selfish motives, and hold no grudge against anyone.  When you pray, let it be for the good of God’s kingdom and not your earthly desires.  God knows your needs, and He will provide. Believe in Him.  He can move that mountain in your life.

Phillippians 4:6 tells us, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” And 1 Peter 3: 12 says, “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.”

To pray effectively, you need faith in God, not faith in the object of your request. Change your focus; change your prayers.  Focus on God, not on yourself.
