Faith matters and it matters to you. Without faith it's impossible to please God. Think about a friend or parent or a spouse. Does my faith matter with them? Yes is the only answer. How would people treat us if we had NO FAITH in anyone around us? Easy answer here as well. No one would want to be around us and no one would want to do anything for us! Wow! See how your faith in God is critical? James chapter one tells us "let him ask in faith without wavering (doubting)". This passage here tells us to not expect anything from the Lord is we doubt He'll do it. We have to do our part and believe even when it looks totally impossible! Mark 9 Jesus tells a man who has a demon possessed son that he needed to believe. See we have a part to play. We can't just be waiting to see what will happen to us next. No. We need to believe what we ask for in prayer we will get! Mark 11:24 "what things you desire when you pray, believe you recieve them and ye shall have them"
