I’m also thinking of this:
And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee; and dost thou say, who touched me? And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me. And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling and fell down before his feet and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go thy way in peace.
Both Luke and Mark say He felt power go out of him ... seemingly unbidden. It seems this woman’s positive and optimistic faith was able to tap into Christ’s power without his assistance. I’m just saying that it could be that sometimes our positive optimism is a necessary and collaborative element in miraculous events.

Absolutely! I just cringe to think God the creator of all is unable to do anything He wants with His creation. Some things take thoughtful analysis and prayer. This subject has done so for me. 🌸
