Scripture
John 4:50
“Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed what Jesus said and started home.”
Observation
There was a government official who’s son was very sick, traveling to Jesus he begged him to come to Capernaum to heal his son who was about to die. Jesus instead tells him to go home and his son will live. Having faith, the official turned and went home to find his son healed. He not only believed Jesus could heal, but he obeyed Jesus by returning home.
Application
It isn’t enough for me to say I believe that Jesus can take care of my problems, I need to act as if he can. When I pray about a need or problem, I need to live as though I believe Jesus can do what he says, and not make a “backup– just in case”
Prayer
I pray I become more trusting of you. I pray that in the future when I do pray for something of importance, I don’t make a backup.. I pray that I can hand over everything to you and let you take care of it and have no anxiety from me.
