This probably won't make sense

Name: Josh
Scripture: Mark 11
'12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it... 20In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!" '

OAP: I understand that Jesus is making a point to his disciples of how having faith in God and patiently praying for strength can bring about miraculous events like killing a tree overnight, but i'm still slightly confused about the situation. It says that this time "was not the season for figs", so Jesus expecting to see fruit in the tree is already odd. And since they were out of season and no trees had figs, why would you curse a tree for eternity? Couldn't he have blessed the tree and made it bear fruit out of season instead or something happy and crazy like that? I just hope God doesn't curse me for something physically impossible like not being able to create a perpetual motion device or something, because the only way to do something impossible like that would be through his intervention and provision. So would he strike me down for being fruitless out of season when the only way to be fruitful would be through him equipping me in the first place? I'm not sure if these questions have answers or not.

Prayer: I constantly work myself into a state of confusion God, my mind is my biggest enemy. I'm not sure why i journaled about what i did, why i thought so long and hard about it all or even if it's what you want me to be focusing on here. Clarity, God, I pray for clarity.
