Have you ever found yourself in a season where there just wasn't enough? Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough energy. Not enough help. Not enough answers. Not enough strength.

When what we have doesn't seem to match what we need, our natural response is to focus on the deficit. We calculate what is missing, worry about how we're going to make it work, and try to figure out how to fill the gap.

In John 6, Jesus shows us a different way to pray when there isn't enough. As thousands of hungry people gather around Him, the disciples see a problem: five barley loaves and two fish aren't enough. But Jesus already knows what He's going to do. Before the miracle happens, Jesus gives thanks.

And that teaches us a powerful truth: When there isn't enough, don't just look at the provision you're missing. Look at the Provider.
