Faith as small as a mustard seed - Reflection on Matthew 17:20
Today we are going to reflect on Matthew 17:20, which says:
*"He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'"*
**Reflection:**
This verse highlights the immense power of faith, even if it is as tiny as a mustard seed. Jesus emphasizes that true faith can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It's a reminder that our belief and trust in God can enable us to achieve the impossible. Faith is not about its size but its presence and authenticity. By nurturing even the smallest amount of faith, we can witness extraordinary changes and miracles in our lives.
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of faith. Help us to cultivate and strengthen our faith, no matter how small it may seem. Teach us to trust in Your power and to believe that through You, all things are possible. Give us the courage to face our challenges with confidence, knowing that You are with us. Amen.
