Mark 11:22-24

God hears our prayers and Jesus is our mediator. Whatever we ask in His name He receives. 

Faith pleases God and within the bounds of His will and Commandments we can expect His hand in all that we pray for.

1 Corinthians 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Likewise, in the stressful, chaotic, ever-changing patterns of our lives, God calls us to be still. Allow Him to be who He is and to do what only He can do. Listen to His heart, dear one; He longs to hold you close. 

Jesus settled our salvation on Calvary and then returned to the Father's side to prepare a place for us in heaven. In the meantime, while these preparations are being made, His promise to return is not empty. As Christians, we have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit while we wait on the Lord's return (Ephesians 1:13-14). We've been given "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3) and "every spiritual blessing" (Ephesians 1:3), so we have much to be thankful for today.

We also have much to look forward to. 

Commentator Warren Wiersbe states, "Whatever God starts, He finishes; and what He does, He does well" (Philippians 1:6;  Mark 7:37). We can be certain that Jesus will make His return in His time and that we are not left alone while we wait. First5 

Mark 11:22-24

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. The New King James Version

The illustration of casting an enormous mountain into the sea is an extreme example of the absolutely impossible. That is the point. Having faith in God can accomplish the impossible. Mark had previously emphasized Jesus’ insistence on simply believing. The NKJV Study Bible

Christ taught them from hence to pray in faith. It may be applied to that mighty faith with which all true Christians are endued, and which does wonders in spiritual things. It justifies us, and so removes mountains of guilt, never to rise up in judgment against us. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Matthew 7:8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Matthew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Matthew 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, 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 also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
