They refer back to a healing of blindness.

They state plainly that Jesus had no power to help.

Stop bringing the matter to Jesus and carry it alone

Bring the disappointment honestly to Jesus and remember what he has already done

Decide that asking the question was a mistake

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit my sin and my need. I turn from my sin and trust that you died for me and rose again. I confess you as Lord, and I ask you to open my blind heart and give me new life. Lead me from darkness into your light. Amen.

Open My Blind Heart

Lord, revive your Church where we have become slow to believe and slow to grieve with others. Wake us up to remember your power, to bring honest questions to you, and to show tender compassion to the hurting. Make us a people who trust you when answers feel delayed, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your People to Trust and Care

Father, comfort anyone who feels the ache of a loss that seemed preventable. Meet them in their questions, hold their sorrow, and remind them that Jesus sees their pain. Give them peace to keep praying, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Comfort for Delayed Hope

Pray with thanks for: the times Jesus has already helped; the gift of sight, healing, and life; the memories of his faithfulness that steady us when new losses come.

Thank You for Past Mercy

Name one disappointment honestly. Thank Jesus for any mercy you can remember. Then ask for faith to trust his wisdom even before you understand his timing.

How to Bring a Hard Question

Pray for: a friend who feels trapped in a situation that cannot be fixed; courage to ask Jesus for help; and grace to remember his power when hope feels small.

John 11 : 37 - Miracle, Doubt, Death
