In Mark 11:22-25 Jesus contrasts His prior rebuke against the temple and the faithlessness it had come to represent with a simple yet profound lesson on faith in God and mountain moving prayer. Jesus commands only to,”have faith in God”, but within that command we are required to ask what we believe of God, faith, and the condition of our hearts. Jesus then encourages that out of confident trust comes heartfelt prayer, and tells us to pray big prayers with the comfort that He will answer. Through this story we are again reminded that God does not want merely right actions, He wants our hearts; not religious ritual but real relationship.
