Do I exhibit the kind of faith that causes God to marvel?


Luke 7:9
Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."
Dear Father God, forgive me for my lack of faith.  Help me, dear God, to realize that the problems, struggles, and obstacles in my life are the fertile soil out of which great faith grows.   I am a desperate man, in desperate need of your blessing upon my life and ministry – I have heard of your marvelous provision in the lives of others. I remember a time when you worked in my life and through me.  I have read in your Word how you use the most unlikely people, in the most unlikely circumstances, to bring about the most extraordinary results.  I know that I do not have, because I do not ask. I understand that I must take the initiative, stepping out by faith in obedience if I am going to see your power unleashed in my life. I do not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word. Lord, I believe; help my unbelief! Lord, I pray that I might have the kind of faith that causes even the Son of Man to marvel!  Amen! 
Pastor Randy Bowman
