Removing Mountains November 20, 2023

“We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. It surmounts or removes all obstacles, overcomes every resisting force and gains its ends in the face of invincible hindrances.” - E.M. Bounds

Do you have any mountains looming in your path that you simply wish would get up and go somewhere else? Can you actually imagine those mountains moving at your request?

Though we may not imagine an actual mountain moving to get out of our way, we can understand that with faith, the mountains in our lives can literally be turned to little hills. We have a connection to the Source of all living things and when we seek His help in overcoming obstacles, He moves toward us and clears the way.

Today, we may have to rest patiently in His care. You many need to be more diligent in His help. He is there even to remove mountains. Don’t let mountains of doubt or fear, or any other obstacle, stand in your way.

“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.” Matthew 17:19-20 NIV

Let us pray: Lord, thank You for hearing us when we call, sometimes with great uncertainty about what lies ahead. Please go before us and remove the mountains in Your grace and mercy. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
