My dear child of God, I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Today, let's meditate on Mark 9:23. Here, Jesus says to a man who brings his sick son to Him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

The Word of God says that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God. In 1 John 5:4, it is written that our faith is the victory that has overcome the world. We need to believe and express gratitude for all that we have received. Colossians 2:7 says, "Being rooted and built up in the Lord and established in the faith as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." So, my friend, when you pray, you must believe that God will supply all your needs according to your faith and continue with thanksgiving. First, you must have faith; then, with faith, you should ask the Lord. With your request, express thanks, saying, "Thank You, Jesus, You have already provided for me." That is faith.

God says that when you thank Him, His presence will be there with you. In I Thessalonians 5:18, it says, "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Look at the life of David. In Psalm 34:1, he says, "I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth." So, keep thanking God. The more you thank Him, the more you will feel His presence. In I Samuel 30:6, David went through a difficult time, but during that time, he started praising God and believing that God would do a miracle. If you read the same 30th chapter, verse 19, we read that David recovered all, whatever he had lost. He recovered everything.

My friend, in the same way, you may have lost so many blessings in your life. But do not lose heart! When you start thanking God wholeheartedly, He will fulfill all your needs in double measure. Expect great things from Him!

PRAYER: 
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for speaking to me through Your word. I know that without faith, it is impossible to please You, so please stir up my heart to trust You more, to love You more, and to commit more of myself to follow Your ways. Help me to fix my eyes on You and not be distracted by the pressures of this world. Nothing is impossible for You. I pray that You will stretch forth Your mighty hand and deliver me miraculously so that I can tell of Your mighty deeds to others around me. Lord, let my mustard-sized faith increase day by day until I see Your deliverance. I know that You will never disappoint anyone who trusts You, for You are faithful. Thank You, Lord, for listening to my prayer and for bringing an answer to my prayer. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
