Lord Jesus, you DO have the right, authority and power to forgive sins.  You are God.
The paralyzed man in Mark 2 was lowered on the mat from the roof.  He and his friends believed, had faith, that Jesus could heal him but probably did not realize Jesus could forgive sins as well.

I wonder if had not the priests been there he would have healed the man since Jesus only initially told him "your sins are forgiven?"

The man wanted to be healed, knowing Jesus could do so.  But also received forgiveness of sins.

Do I have that much belief and faith??

I cannot stop smoking or over eating on my own.  Fact.  But yesterday I could not stand in belief in God and went to buy smokes cause it was so agonizingly hard.  So I ordered chantix, I can get it through July 2013.  So I found out.

Jesus, I still do not have complete faith in you as my Shepherd.

I am going to start something medical and physical for weight loss today.  I have more trust in their method than I do in you helping me.

Did I ever thank you for Silver Sneekers and the ability to have CURVES and the gym with a pool for free?  THANK YOU  That is saving me nearly $50/mon.

I just ask that chantix is not $100.

I wonder who R & S are, as well as the O people in E. Africa?  They need fruit from their service to you.  Allow the blind to see your way.  Bind Satan and let them have a revival soon.  Put your hand upon the medical ministry there that the unbelieving may see Jesus in each worker and missionary.

Re elections.  Put your mighty hand upon the Kenyan election board so they are clearly seen to be NOT cheating, that they are honest in tallying results and that they do an amazing job.

On Jesus, help me in my unbelief !!!!!
