”Have
faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to
this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the seas,’ and does not doubt in his
heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have
received it, and it will be yours.” Mark
11:22-24
