Believe

Mark 11:24-25

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”

Believing - is it really that simple?

And forgiving

That's hard work

that involves constant prayer.

Yet Jesus, on his way to Jerusalem

On his way to betrayal, arrest and death

spoke of forgiveness

of faith

of believing 

and of prayer

On his way to Calvary.

Prayer

God, when we pray, may we seek forgiveness for ourselves and for others and may we be forgiving. Give us faith to know that our prayers are answered and, as we are forgiven, help us forgive.
