The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.(Luke 17:5-6 ESV)
Having been told how forgiving they need to be as His followers, the twelve come to Jesus and ask for more faith - to be able to trust Him enough to forgive others and know they won't get burned. But it's not like going to the gas station for a fill-up or put in a few gallons. When faith is there, it has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with God. It's not that we need "more faith," but that we need to know more intimately the One in Whom we put our faith. As the old saying goes, we dont' need great faith in God; we need faith in our great God.
