VERSE OF THE WEEK
Therefore, I tell you whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. – Mark 11:24
Stretch
Would you say your prayer life is solid? How deeply do you believe what Jesus said about prayer? Today’s verse begins with the word, “Therefore.” A wise pastor once said when you see the word therefore, you need to find out what it is there for. In the verse that precedes the one for today, Jesus says, “Truly, I say to you, whosoever 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.“ Do you pray mountain-moving prayers? Do you believe that type of faith exists? Perhaps you are facing foothills instead of mountains today. Regardless, have faith that God hears and answers your prayers. Are you praying for the removal of the “mountains” of evil in today’s world? Stretch your faith. Take on the big things and do not doubt God’s power.
