Fixing Small Thinking

Bible
As I have been taking steps to fix my small thinking, lately, I've been drawn back to a certain passage from the Bible:
Mark 11:22-24 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
"Have[a] faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Footnotes:
