He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
—Matthew 17:20
Most people know that verse. I’ve literally heard it a million times. And yeah, I know about that faith stuff. But, that’s probably one of the biggest things I struggle with in my Christian walk. I think I have faith at least the size of a mustard seed. But, sometimes I doubt that I have faith at all. I want to take everything in my hands. Even knowing that giving it up to God will be much easier.
I lack faith when I don’t see an end to a situation. I don’t really think that some people can actually be healed. I don’t know if I’ll have the outcome that I desire. I don’t know if I’ll be a good parent. I don’t know if God will provide.
Then when I stop and realize that He’s done all of this for us before, I am relieved and humbled. And I know He’ll do it for us again.
Take the time to think.
Take the time to pray.
Take the time to be still and know that He is God.
What is something that you have faith for or need faith for to happen?
My entire blog is centered around this entire of having faith the size of a mustard seed so that we can move mountains for God and his Kingdom! Love this post… it is easy to read about this type of faith, but oh so hard to really live it out!

I think Matthew 17:20 isn’t meant to emphasize what having faith the size of a mustard seed will accomplish, but rather it emphasizes how powerful God is in the midst of what little we have to offer. Genesis 50:20 comes to mind here.
good stuff
