Pinelake Madison/Ridgeland Student Ministry

I am so hesitant sometimes to pray for the impossible. It is easier for me to pray that a variety of things happen in a tough situation….that way whatever does happen I can justify your movement, your hand, your existence in the situation. I am challenged this morning that not once did Peter say, "God if it be your will to heal". He saw a man crippled and knew that your desire was for the crippled man to be made whole, not just physically but spiritually as well. So in total faith in the power of your name, Peter reached down and lifted the man to his feet knowing full well that he would be able to stand, to walk and to jump around into a new life.

Lord I want that Faith. I want to see that faith alive in your Body. I am aware that it takes bold situations to express bold faith, and I am also aware that I am surrounded today; your Body is surrounded today with Bold situations in our lives. May we pray for the seemingly impossible for it is in those situations where we see your Hand. Your miracles!

Acts 3:16

By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given complete healing to him, as you all can see.
