"Give Us More Faith"

REQUESTS FOR FAITH ANSWERED

After the foregoing discussion, we may feel as the apostles did when they said to the Lord:  "Give us more faith." (Luke 17:5)  Their request  was answered, particularly at Pentecost 33 C.E. when holy spirit was poured out on them and they were given deeper insight into God's purpose. This strengthened their faith.  As a result, they embarked on the greatest preaching campaign up to that time.  (Colossians 1;23) Can we expect our requests for more faith to be answered?  The Bible assures us that we can when "we ask according to [God's] will." -1 John 5:14. 

Clearly Jehovah is pleased with those who put their complete trust in him. Jehovah will answer our request for more faith, and our faith will grow exceedingly, leading to our being "counted worth of the Kingdom of God." -2 Thessalonians 1:3, 5.
