Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast.

And if we have the Faith of a Mustard Seed, we could say to this mountain,
"Move from here to there"
and it will move. Nothing is impossible for You.
Lord I do have Faith, “please help my Unbelief”.

Alternate Mustard Seed Prayer

Lord,
Help me to trust that even the smallest acts done in faith can grow into something beautiful in Your hands. Plant in me the seed of Your love and let it grow into a life that bears fruit for others.
Amen.
