Faith and Believing

Mark 11:24: Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
Romans 12:2: Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Ecclessiastes 1:18: For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow
.

These Scriptures, tugged at my heart. When you pray you need to believe, to beleve is to have Faith; Webster definition of faith; (1) belief and trust in and loyalty to God. (2) belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion.  Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.

Sunday while in Church these scriptures tugged on my heart. I woke up Monday with a song in my heart and these scriptures on my mind. I am reminded of my sister's faith in God. Through her battle with cancer her faith stood strong through the end she was ready to Go home.
