Matthew 17:14-21 In these scriptures the Savior taught the disciples three things they needed to do in order to heal others. Those three things were faith, prayer, and fasting. Many of the disciples did not have the faith necessary to heal others. This lack of faith also led to other things they were unable to do, like confess the Lords hand in all things, stand up for Christ, or continue to preach His word. Prayer was something they also struggled with, putting their lives into their own hands and not into Gods. The disciples also lacked the humility to fast. Fasting is something that humbles us and brings us closer to God, which in turn can give us the power to do miracles in His name.
3 Nephi 18:20 Also states that with the faith to call on the Lord we can have all things we ask for in righteousness.
D&C 50:29 States that with prayer, faith and purity of heart we can have the power to preform miracles as well.
D&C 42:48 States that thru faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we can do anything.
Basically, through faith we can do anything. Through fasting we can receive the strength we need to succeed in this life. And through prayer we can have a constant channel to God, so that we are never alone.
