Healing of the Official’s Son

Written By Brenda Norton

Get comfortable, breathe, clear your mind, and ask God to be with you in this time of prayer. Ask God to speak to you through this image.


Let your eyes pause and focus on the part of the image they’re first drawn to. Look at just that part of the image for a minute or two.

Now look at the whole image.

  • Is there a word that comes to mind as you look at it

  • What thoughts or questions does this image raise?

  • What emotions do you feel?

  • Does a name for God come to mind? A scripture?

  • What title would you give this piece?


Pray through the words, images, emotions, questions, and thoughts that came up for you. Rest in God’s presence, trusting that God is with you even if you don’t “feel” it.

As you step out of prayer and into your week,

continue to watch for God. Notice where Jesus is at work in the world,

 “hidden in plain sight.”
