^{A Rebuke to Unbelief in Prayer}

 

 

¹³And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, "Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?' ¹⁴Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."  Genesis 18:13-14

¹⁹Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

    ²⁰So 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 17:19-20

⁵⁸Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  Matthew 13:58

 ⁶But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. ⁷For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.  James 1:6-8

 

⁸... Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"  Luke 18:8

 

⁶But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is [He exists], and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  Hebrews 11:6
