Mark 11:20-24

20 In the morning, walking along the road, they saw the fig tree, shriveled to a dry stick.
21 Peter, remembering what had happened the previous day, said to him, "Rabbi, look - the fig tree you cursed is shriveled up!"
22 Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it,
23 and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done.
24 That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything.
