Father, in Matt 17:12-21 Jesus not only heals a boy from demon posession but also teaches about the consequences of a lack of faith. The disciples would have been able to cast out this demon if they'd only had more faith.
Jesus talks about this 'mustard seed' sort of faith. He must be talking about an all consuming faith, regardless of the size of the person. If that person is consumed with faith, they will be able to do impossible things.
Father, help me to be encouraged about the all consuming faith. Help me to see where I can help people in Your name. If you want me to start a church I will. If you want me to start a small group I will. If there is something else You want for me to do I will. I am not asking for a sign, but for guidance. Your word says 'I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you' (ps 32:8). So, Father, teach me, guide me, show me the way I am to go.
