Bible Question (short): degrees of faith?? |
Question (full): Suppose a friend is seriously admitted in the hospital and you are requested to pray for him,how would you pray? would it be based on faith bigger than a mustard seed that goes"God, with mountain moving faith,i believe in a miracle healing no matter how bad things seem to be" Mark 11:24 "When you pray and ask for something,believe that you have received it,and whatever you asked for,will be given to you" When his disciples asked Jesus why they couldn't cure the boy with a demon,he said it was because they didn't have enough faith. When the storm came and everyone panicked,Jesus again stressed on faith which could calm the wildest of storms. But,....God has his own ways and his own plans.Not all prayers are answered the way we want....no matter how much faith we put in.... .SOOOooo...should it be more like "Not my will,but your will"...."Thy will be done"...like praying that things happen the way they are supposed to...hmm??...but why do we have to pray that way when its going to happen anyway??becoz the life of that person is entirely in God's hands! wouldn't it be more like saying..."God,I know you can heal[ok,so u have faith]but will you?[u can decide on that Lord]" is that how we r supposed to pray? views on this plzz |
