Final Fantasy: Hope, Faith, and Getting Answers to our Prayers

The Final Fantasy series has never shied away from the “fantasy” part of the title, packing their games full of seeming paradoxes like the massive boats that sail through the air instead of the sea, giant chickens that happen to be the fastest land animals around, and of course the ridiculously oversized swords that look stylish and fun but are completely impractical for combat (or even just carrying around). But the artists and developers behind these design choices decided to move past the previous interpretations and perceived limitations of these items, and instead allowed what they believed to be possible in these virtual realms to guide them into bringing them to life.

There is a massive difference between “hoping” that the Lord will act on our behalf and truly “believing” in faith that He will do something that is beyond our previous experience. While our Heavenly Father is not a vending machine, He has instructed us to bring Him all of our requests in full faith that He can and will answer them. The Lord is absolutely capable of doing far more than we could ever imagine, but He still chooses to answer our prayers in direct correlation with the depth of our faith. There isn’t anything that is too hard for Him, only things that are difficult for us to believe. Let’s ask Him in faith for what we need today… He specializes in doing the impossible.

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? Jeremiah 32:27

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:1,3
