Another major hindrance to our faith is unforgiveness. In Mark 11:24, after Jesus taught on how we are to use faith in prayer to receive from God, He immediately followed that by saying “And whenever you stand praying, forgive…” (Mark 11:25). “And” is a conjunction which connects words or ideas that are to be taken jointly.

Hindrances To Faith Cont’d In Hebrew 6:12 we are told to be “imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”.
