If we believe these words of Jesus,
how does God keep from being a celestial vending machine of our requests?
Mark 11
22 Then Jesus said to the disciples,
“Have faith in God.
23 I tell you the truth,
you can say to this mountain,
‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’
and it will happen.
But you must really believe it will happen
and have no doubt in your heart.
24 I tell you,
you can pray for anything,
and if you believe that you’ve received it,
it will be yours.
25 But when you are praying,
first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against,
so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.”
