This is a spotlight on the Scripture Mark 11:20-22 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 

 

The story of the withered fig tree highlights the importance of faith. Peter notices the fig tree that Jesus cursed has  withered away, which is  leading to a teaching about the need for faith in prayer. Hebrews 11:6 says faith is vital for pleasing God and is the basis of our relationship with Him. Believing in God and His goodness is key to meaningful prayer.

Without faith, prayer loses its purpose and power, it’s like talking to no one. But with faith, prayer becomes a powerful act of trust and communication with God.

 

Jesus said, "Have faith in God." This encourages us to pray with genuine faith, trusting that God is present and will respond to those who seek Him. It's a reminder to deepen our faith and rely on God in all aspects of our lives. This is a spotlight on the Scripture.
