Mak 11:25

예수님께서 분명히 “무엇이든지 기도하고 구하는 것은 받은 줄로 믿으라 그리하면 너희에게 그대로 되리라”(막 11:24)고 하셨는데, 믿음이 있는 우리에게 산을 옮기는 역사가 나타나지 않는 이유는 무엇인가? 만일 당신도 나와 같은 질문을 던진 적이 있다면, 예수님의 말씀을 따라 믿음과 용서와의 상관관계를 고찰해보기를 바란다.

Do you have trouble today? Have you been hurt by someone, or fallen ill, experienced lack, or suffered devastating setbacks? It’s easy to feel sorry for yourself in times like these.

A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.
