Matthew 17: ¹⁹ Later, when they were away from the crowds, the disciples asked Jesus why they hadn’t been able to drive out the demon themselves.

Jesus: ²⁰ Because you have so little faith. I tell you this: if you had even a faint spark of faith, even faith as tiny as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” andbecause of your faith, the mountain would move. If you had just a sliver of faith, you would find nothing impossible. [²¹ But this kind is not realized except through much prayer and fasting.]

I like to imagine that I have some faith... at least a faint spark of it... yet there are so many things that I too can't do... I can't seem to change anything.. just almost locked into going along with things waiting on God to move.. but is that what it is supposed to be? the bible says that we can do anything that we really believe.. that we have the power to do all the miracles that Jesus did... and when I put my faith to the test... like when I was without a job.. or without somewhere to live.. God always comes to the rescue.. obviously because I had enough faith to give it power...
odd to me that we have faith for some things and not for others.. and what I have faith for.. you may not.. or vice versa...
and then it states.. this kind of faith is not realized except through much prayer and fasting.. can we say we fast and pray alot? I can't... yet when I did.. I was so much stronger than now... so what holds me back from walking out of the world and its thoughts and going into seclusion with God.. which is what I need to be strong... yet I don't do it... what holds me back......... and what possible sense does it make to not do it...
