John 2:3-10

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” - John 2:3-10

Dear Jesus,

You told Mary she had crossed the line and then you gave her what she asked. I will spend all day thinking about that. She trusted that once she had told you, she would be able to accept your answer. I will think about that a lot too. When I see her prayer, your response and her repose, I learn the nature of prayer. I learn to ask indiscriminately and to accept your answer without judgment too. I trust you will handle my prayers with grace even if you see me ask too much or for the wrong thing. I feel safe praying to you after I read the wedding story. Thank you for being my gracious Savior who leads me into truth while I am just trying to get by.

Amen

Pray to God about everything. Let him sort it out. But learn to pray to him about his main things too.
