A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do I pray in faith according to the Bible?
Jesus’ teaching in Matthew begins with the Father’s knowledge and gives a prayer that includes provision, forgiveness, and deliverance. Mark places faith in God and forgiveness around the image of the mountain. First John connects confidence with asking according to God’s will. Read these passages before applying a single statement about prayer.
What Jesus Taught About Faith and the Mountain
Baker’s sayings about speaking to the mountain are most useful alongside the whole exchange. Jesus begins with faith in God and includes forgiveness. Name what feels impossible, pray for the people involved, and determine what faithful action is yours while you wait.
Put one quote into practice
Write the request in a sentence. Add a verse in context that helps direct your prayer. Make room for thanksgiving and for any response God’s Word asks from you, including forgiving, seeking counsel, or doing something practical for the person involved.
