Mark 6:5
Jesus made it clear on other occasions that he healed in response to faith. This does not mean that Jesus was unable to do anything unless someone believed. Obviously, on several occasions he did things that his disciples never expected him to do. For example, walking on water.
So, here in this verse Christ’s inability was not based on a lack of power on his part. Instead, there were not many who believed he was able to do anything for them. Jesus never turned someone away because of a lack of faith. If they came to him they had at least some faith. And, a few in this region did indeed come to him and he healed them. But they were very few.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your limitless supply! Though we tend to focus on the things that you’ve given us that have a limit to them, there is so much that you will give us that is unlimited. Your peace, your grace, your love, are all ours in Christ. These things have no limit. They are ours at all times, regardless of the circumstances. Lord, when circumstances seem to be against us, we need only to remember that your faithfulness and character are always the same. Your blessings are truly limitless! Protect our lives dear Father, as we praise you for your wonderful works. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Pray for a young man who is lost. Pray for a man who is having trouble with his stomach. Pray for a man that is making progress in rehabilitation.
