The force of friction is equal in magnitude to the applied force and opposite in its direction. The force of friction may also increase if you increase the applied force, up to a certain limit.

Let us say that you are pushing on a large rock, and the rock is not moving. There is a gravitational force that is holding the rock in place, which is larger than the force that you are applying. Your muscular exertions will only produce waste heat. So, even though force is defined as that which can cause an acceleration of a mass, in some circumstances an insufficient force will cause no acceleration.
