Luke 17:5 - 6
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Increase our faith
Most our prayers are directed towards the benefits such as protection, healing, prosperity etc. We do not normally ask for the means to such end benefits. In our text the disciples requested to have their faith increased.
A mustard seed is very small yet Jesus Christ likens faith that would uproot a tree to it. We need that kind of faith in our challenging contemporary world, we need that substance, that key.
Prayer
Lord we ask you to increase our faith, we ask to remain relevant in this challenging world, in Jesus name Amen.
