"And Jesus answered and said to them, 'Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast out into the sea," it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.'" -Matthew 21:21-22 (NASB)
I recently saw an interview with one of my favorite baseball players, Andrew McCutchen. In the interview, McCutchen discussed his humble beginnings, his acceptance of Jesus, and how he approaches baseball. Andrew McCutchen relied on his faith to overcome obstacles as he became an MVP for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After he received the MVP honor, he gave God the credit for the award and discussed how he plays the game of baseball for the glory of God.
While Andrew McCutchen hasn't moved mountains, he has talked about how his faith, prayer, and relationship with God sustain him through low points. When we need somewhere to turn, we can rely on our faith. Jesus told His disciples what could be accomplished with faith and prayer. When we read the words of Jesus, they can speak to us, reminding us to have faith and, through faith, communicate with God in prayer. With faith, we can ask God for help and overcome any of the low points and challenges we might be facing in our lives.
Have faith, pray, and allow God to help you overcome challenges!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and listening to me. Please help me to stay grounded in You so I can overcome the challenges in my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
