What If Jesus Wants Us to Do the Miracle Instead of Just Watch Him Do It?

Luke 8.40–9.17 — 7/7/26

"Faith in Jesus releases healing + peace." (v48)

Father, I need your peace. With so many unknowns + variables in life right now, I can feel my anxiety rising. I trust you with the outcome; I can feel that in my soul. But I am also overwhelmed by the long to-do list that sits on my plate. I want to be faithful in my part. And it feels like the projects keep multiplying. The tasks + subtasks lists grow longer no matter how many I complete.

Father, help me to trust you in the near future, not just the distant. Increase my faith. Quiet my emotions. Give me peace.

"Father, impart your authority + power to me in this season." (v1)
Send me to proclaim "the wonderful news of Jesus." (v6)

Bring 5,000 into your kingdom through Passion Church.

V13 jumped off the page as you spoke to me today. Jesus told them to feed the 5,000. They could have done it. They had the authority + the power, but not the faith. Those 5,000 were still fed, but they didn't get to do it.

Lord, give me the faith. I know you will save people here in the CV. But I want to be in the center of what you're doing. I want you to use Passion. Don't let us just stand on the side + watch. Fill us with your power + use us at the center.

Let your "power flow through us!" (v46)
