 So all I want you to know is that God does intervene. Ask Him. Seek Him. But you can't manipulate Him. The very chapter that you study here is a place where people were following Jesus to get the miracles and get the food. In other words, what they wanted is to use Jesus. He's not a self-help genie. He's the God of the universe. But let me encourage you to plead your case, seek Him with all your heart,
