The obstacle will relocate from one place to another

The promise only works if the obstacle first becomes smaller

The promise depends on your faith being larger than the obstacle

Speak to it with trust that God can move it

Wait until the problem feels small before you pray

Treat the problem as proof that God will not help

Measure your faith against the size of the problem and give up if you feel small

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that my faith is weak. I turn from my sin and from trusting myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord, and I ask you to come into my life and strengthen my trust in you. Amen.

Receive the Lord Who Gives Faith

Lord, your people often look at mountains and forget your power. Wake up your Church with humble trust, fresh courage, and obedient words that line up with your will. Where we have settled for small faith, breathe new life into us, and make us a people who believe you can move what seems fixed. in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Our Weak Faith

Father, you see the place where my faith feels small. Please meet me there with your help, steady my heart when I feel overwhelmed, and remind me that nothing is beyond you. Give me courage to trust you with what I cannot change. in the name of Jesus. Amen.

When the Mountain Feels Fixed

Begin by naming one obstacle plainly. Then ask God to grow your trust, to show you one faithful next step, and to help you speak and act without fear.

Pray Through One Mountain

Bring these to God with thanks: the ways he has already helped when you felt weak; the promise that no obstacle is beyond him; the gift of faith, even when it is small; and his patience with you as trust grows.

Gratitude for Small Faith and Great Power

Pray for: a friend whose burden feels immovable; renewed trust for someone who is discouraged; courage to speak hope instead of despair; and a clear sign that God is at work.
