Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

1 Cor 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Cor 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that
watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

2 Cor 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though
we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in
preaching the gospel of Christ:
2 Cor 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of
other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that
we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

The Apostles asked for it and they could see the Lord and saw His
miracles first hand, we are told only God gives increase, we are also
told "ask and ye shall receive". SO...if a person wants more faith then
what is wrong with obeying the Word of God and asking for increase. To
imply that she is less that sincere and "wants a hand out" and has "Lazy
faith" is not your call - only God knows a mans heart. If she prays
about it then I doubt she wants a hand out or has lazy faith, if those
were true then she might think about it and hope for it, but never pray
about it and petition the Lord for it. Remember the Lord's Prayer -
covers all aspects of life.

I agree with Pastor Joe that this might be an issue in need of a
"cooling down".
