Jesus was talking to his disciples within the context of having enough faith to do the work that he called them to do. It wasn't meant for the church to make all their selfish dreams come true.

Amen, He calls us, and He equips us. And He gives us power to do His work. He never leaves us helpless.
He tells us to remove the mountains in our life that hold us back from walking in all He has for us. Whether that be sickness, debt, bad relationships, addictions...or even our own habits.
He's a good Father, and He cares for us affectionately.
I never mentioned that we should selfishly treat God as a sugar-daddy or as a means to making our "dreams come true" as you put it.
He gives us the dreams, He gives us the vision for our lives... but we do need to walk in the faith He has given us, and not become despondent when we "feel" we don't have enough faith.
