We pray because we believe in a higher power. We may have exhausted all of our resources and finally turn to God. God becomes our last hope in order to save the day.
Jesus was talking about what faith can do for his disciples by telling them that with faith they could order a mountain to be cast into the sea. This action would only happen if they did not doubt. And then Jesus continues by telling them: "So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received* it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
When we pray in such a manner, it is as if time is contracting so that what we pray for is already ours! There is no need to doubt what God can do. If there were limitations, then we could not believe Jesus' words.
I think that sometimes we magnify our problems, thinking that they are too big for God to handle. Instead, we need to believe that God is so great that nothing is impossible for God when brought in prayer.
Where do you stand in believing these words of our Lord? Have you ever prayed and thought to yourself: "I have already received it?"
