Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up? 10Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up? 11Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread?

Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to look past what I see and truly believe in your ability. Release your spirit in my and protect me from the lies of Satan. Give a faith based on your Truth and not my belief.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!

And he was amazed at their unbelief.

Then the king deeply regretted what he had said; but because of the vows he had made in front of his guests,

They were totally amazed, for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.

 all who touched him were healed.

Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Lord God my Father,

You are my strength and courage, help me to trust you, Help me make decisions that are according to your will and bring healing to me and those who wish to find you. Allow me to touch the outermost fringe of you and truly find your healing, open my eyes and mind to your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

You are life, without you I am dead. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to your way, give me strength to follow you wholeheartedly.

In Jesus name I pray,

Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain. 8Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”

“Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

“Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

Amen

But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, For when a strong man is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe—until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings.

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness.

If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.”

Lord God my Father,

May your power overwhelm any darkness I allow, point out areas I need to surrender to your care, fill me with your light so others can find you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
