5 AND 2

"Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Eight months wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"  John 6:5-7.

So far in the last 5 weeks I have come to these conclusions:

1. I am only one person praying for thousands of people 
2. I do not have the ability to comprehend why God has asked me to do this
3. Most of the time I don't even know what to pray for
4. I may never understand what God is trying to do
5. I can't change the church, its habits, attitude, or motives.
6. I can't change the hearts and minds of men to choose to seek after God
7. I am not perfect and I get discouraged

"Another one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many!" . . .When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over.  Let nothing be wasted." So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten."  John 6:8-13

I am one person.  How are my prayers to touch so many?

But if God can feed 5000 with 5 small loaves of bread and 2 small fish with so much left over than surely he can do the same with my prayers.

I have been praying now for 5 weeks and until recently have been encouraged by your prayers and support.  I say this because I can not do this alone.  If you could remember me and the church in your prayers the Lord will honor your 5 and 2 and do mighty things with it.  Thank you!
