Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. – Matthew 21:21
Eternal Father, you are a God of Invincible Promises, a God Who is ready to grant all that we ask, to reveal all that we seek and to show us your inexhaustible, unparalleled love and mercy, if we, on our part, have absolute trust and belief in you. Lord, we know, without even the shadow of a doubt, that all things are possible with you and that not even a single thing is impossible for you. When you have created the whole universe and have given both the animate and inanimate shape and form, you can recreate everything too.
Father, we have implicit faith in your Being and in your Power to make all things new, and to renew us each day, even when we fall into the deepest pit of damnation and despondency. All we need is to be fully repentant and ask in faith that we be healed and restored, with unfailing trust in your compassion for us sinners. You lived amongst us to teach us your Ways and urged us to leave the transient things of the world and the gratification of the flesh and to contemplate the eternal things we are moving towards, and which will come to pass.
Our insights into the spiritual world and our aims to gain supernatural wealth and to keep you as our focus, thus increasing and deepening our wisdom and faith, can make our lives complete, giving us purpose and a mission in life. Lord, we invoke your help in strengthening our faith and hope in the things to come, spreading your Gospel Truth and enlightening the minds of our fellowmen, for it is only by increasing our belief till it is strong as an oak, that we can gain the benefits of your Heavenly Kingdom and share it with others, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
