Matthew 13 records several of Jesus's parables, some of which use farming illustrations. I think that's really neat. At the end of the chapter, Jesus cruises through Nazareth, but the people didn't believe Him, " 58And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith."
This got me thinking. How many of my prayers have not been answered because I prayed with no faith? Or, more generally, have their been times in my life when God didn't move as powerfully because of my lack of faith?
Tonight I am going to Promise Keepers, and I am excited that my father and father-in-law are going. I have faith that God is going to radically impact each of our lives tonight and tomorrow morning.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that you would increase my faith. Lord, I am expecting to meet you this evening and tomorrow morning. Lord, I pray that your Holy Spirit will move in power in my heart, and the hearts of my dad and father-in-law. Lord, please humble us, convict us of sin, and challenge each of us to a closer walk with you. Lord, show us how to be better husbands and fathers. Lord, I pray that you will place the words in the speakers' mouths. I pray that you will tear down the enemy's fortresses and strong-holds and raise up godly men of integrity that glorify your name. I pray this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
