Monday – Gospels

Reading – Luke 8

Highlight Verses:

“The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I was at a large outdoor Christian music festival several years ago. In the evening, they had worship and a message at the main stage.

As the meeting began, we could see a large storm heading straight for us.

I honestly don’t remember whether they prayed from the stage, but I know they had a prayer team at the back of the crowd that kept praying throughout the entire event.

I remember praying for the storm to go around us while mentally preparing to be soaked.

Some faith, huh?

My faith was stretched that evening as I witnessed that storm literally split in two and pass by the grounds on both sides.

We stayed dry.

I still struggle to pray in faith. But I now personally know that God is able to do far more than my feeble faith would allow for.

It’s about time we started praying that way.

When have you seen God go way beyond your expectations in answer to prayer?
What are you having a difficult time having faith for now (remember to keep privacy in mind in your comments)?
