Jesus explained why the deed was necessary

Pause, take it seriously, and let it shape your trust

Treat the moment as interesting, but keep your life unchanged

Focus only on how unusual it is, not on what it means

Assume the amazement itself is enough, even without response

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and lived as if your works did not matter. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Open my eyes to who you are, and lead me to follow you. Amen.

Receive the Lord Who Works

Lord, revive your Church with fresh wonder at your works. Where we have grown familiar and slow to listen, awaken us again. Make us quick to notice what you have done, humble in our response, and faithful to speak of you with awe, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Our Wonder

Father, thank you for the works of Jesus that reveal your power and mercy. Thank you that his deeds are not hidden and not ordinary, but worthy of awe. Give me a grateful heart that remembers what you have done, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Your Mighty Works

Begin by naming one thing Jesus has done that amazes you. Thank God for it in simple words, then ask for a willing heart to let that wonder become trust and obedience today.

Pray Through Your Amazement

Pray for: people who are impressed by Jesus but still undecided; believers who have lost their sense of wonder; chances to speak clearly about what Jesus has done; hearts that move from amazement to faith.

For Those Who Are Still Deciding

Lord, forgive me for the times I have seen your work and stayed unchanged. I do not want to be only amazed; I want to trust and obey. Turn my wonder into faith and my faith into action, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
