The answer
The Holy Gospel of St. Matthew 21:22 states, "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." This is in context with the "withered fig tree" (Matthew 21:18-22) and the Lord Jesus Christ is explaining to the disciples the importance of faith. He is emphasizing the astonishing power of UNDOUBTING faith.In verse 22, specifically, the Lord Jesus Christ is telling the disciples that to receive whatever things you ask for in prayer, one must have faith and discernment to ask for what is in accordance to God's will. God cannot be manipulated by our prayers.
