Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions."
Jesus’ teaching on prayer is further elaborated in Matthew and Luke’s accounts of the "Lord’s Prayer." But, the gist is here, of course. We are asked to realize our dependence, our need for forgiveness, and our obligation to forgive. Jesus calls these essential elements of prayer. How do you weave them into your own prayer? How do you ‘practice what you pray’?
