Wisdom and faith

Jacob said, “I won’t let you go until you bless me.” ~ Genesis 32:26 (CEB)

Then a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat. She was thinking, “If I can just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”

Jesus turned and saw the woman and said, “Be encouraged, dear woman. You are made well because you believed.” And the woman was healed from that moment on. ~ Matthew 9:20-22 (NCV)

KEY IDEA:
In faith we ask for bold things from God.
PRAYER:
God, I really admire people who ask for big things from you. I tend to be way more guarded, worrying over what it will look like if you say "no" to me -- as sometimes you need to do. Give to me a combination of faith and wisdom -- wisdom to know what I should be asking of you, and faith to ask for it. I am going to wrestle with you and seek your blessing. Amen.
