Mark 11:22-25
22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Doubt...is ultimately lack of trust in God. One of the most important thing to keep in mind when we pray is to remove our doubts. Often we doubt our prayers won't get answered.
Just as Jesus said "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." When we pray, we must believe that our prayer will be answered. This doesn't mean the answers to our prayer will be the in our favor. However God will definitely give his answers to our prayer.
Removing this doubt from our heart is truly difficult. I pray that we'll all have the complete faith in our Lord! Amen.
22And Jesus answered saying to them, "(R)Have faith in God.23"(S)Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. 24"Therefore I say to you, (T)all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25"Whenever you (U)stand praying, (V)forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. (Mark 11:22-25)
Forgiving others is very important so that our father in heaven will also forgive us for our sins. This forgiveness of sins and restoration of our love in our daily life seems to be very important. Only by carrying out Christ's commandment to forgive others, we can have really come toward Christ and have our sins put down to commune with Him. As we develop this intimate relationship with Christ, it would be natural for us to mature in our faith level.
