#21. How much faith is required to receive answers in prayer?

Christian Prayer Catechism: Question #21

Q. How much faith is required to receive answers in prayer?

A. A little bit of faith in a very big God is required to receive answers in prayer.


It is the object of our faith, not the subjective amount, that counts (Matt. 17:20). We are to have faith in God, not faith in our faith. Our confidence must be in God and not in getting "answers." A lot of faith in an inch of ice will get us cold and wet. But a little bit of faith in three feet of ice will support an SUV crossing a lake.
