Andrew said to Jesus, “There is a boy here with five loaves of barley bread and two fish. Oh, but what are these things when there are all these people?” (John 6:9).
What is your version of “all these people”? It might be something as pedestrian as “all this homework” or “all these long days.” The disciples counted the hungry people, the money in their bag, and the amount of bread and fish. They did not, however, count on Christ. And he was standing right there! The idea of soliciting his help did not dawn on them. Even so, Jesus went straight to work.
The impossible challenge of feeding “all these people” became the unforgettable miracle of all these people fed. What we cannot do, Christ does. And he will help you.

From Mike: Do you really believe Max"s closing two sentences or do you try to control the situation yourself? Do you not trust Him to handle your problems the "right" way? I don't believe He's going to barge in and take control. He is just waiting for an invitation. Put your situation in His hands and "Jesus will go straight to work". I understand it's difficult because I stuggle with it also but give it a try!
