Keep faith separate from Jesus and stay interested only in the miracles.

Wait for a dramatic sign before any trust begins.

Let what Jesus does move you toward trust in him.

Assume belief should mainly come from the crowd around you.

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I turn from my sin and trust you alone. I believe you died for me and rose again, and I confess you as my Lord. Let the truth of who you are lead me into real faith, not just outward signs. Thank you for receiving me. Amen.

Trust Jesus' Name

Lord, revive your Church so we do not live on secondhand excitement or chase wonders without trusting you. Open our eyes to the works you are doing, and deepen our belief in your name. Make us a people who see your signs and follow you with steady faith, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Our Faith in You

Father, thank you that you do not leave yourself unseen. Thank you for the signs Jesus did, for the mercy behind them, and for the way they lead people to believe. Give me a grateful heart that looks past the wonder to worship the Savior, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Showing Yourself

Name one work of Jesus you remember or have seen, thank God for it, and ask him to turn that memory into deeper trust rather than shallow amazement.

Pray Over One Sign

Pray for people who are curious about Jesus, for those waiting on proof, and for anyone who has seen enough to know he is at work but still needs courage to believe. Ask God to use Jesus' works to draw them to faith.

For Honest Seekers

Lord, help me not stop at being impressed by what you do. Teach me to trust your name, to value your signs rightly, and to follow you with a steady heart, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Faith Beyond Fascination
