Getting back to the teaching Jesus did on Faith in Mark 11. In verse 23 He taught us about the things we should SPEAK to. In verse 24, it's the things we are to ask the Father for.

We may learn that God’s will is healing, meeting needs, bringing hope, restoration, and abundance, but what do we do with the picture we see in the world of sickness, poverty, despair, separation, etc. Is God not allowing this? Does the Word have any light to shed on this for us? Of course it does!
