We were encouraged to have the faith to pray big prayers because we pray to a God who can do the impossible! This is evidence in how Jesus curses the tree in this passage. This faith is God given and originates from him bearing fruit in our lives.
We were also challenged to confess times where we have paid lip service to following Christ like the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law. The opposite of this is to live a life of wholehearted obedience to God including in our prayer lives.
This passage also encouraged us that no person is ruled out because of what they have done in their lives. Our relationship with God is one granted through grace and available to all who the Holy Spirit reveals it too.
