Today's word prompt for the 31 Days Five Minute Friday Writing Challenge is Problem.
Jesus solves problems.
Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus solving problems.
In Luke 5, Jesus causes Peter and his partners to catch a boatload of fish, literally, after fishing and catching nothing all night.
When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.-Luke 5:4-7 (Berean Study Bible)
In John 2, Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding after the guests have run out.
When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why does this concern us?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”-John 2:3-10 (Berean Study Bible)
He repeatedly solved problems when issues arose. When he came into contact with things that needed to be affected in the natural, supernatural things began to happen.
He also healed people over and over and over again. The phrase “and he healed them all” is repeated many times. There are also many individual accounts of healing throughout the Gospels.
In John chapter 5, verse 17, Jesus says,

In Luke 9, we have a record of Jesus causing 5 loaves and 2 fish to feed 5000+ people. The disciples wanted to send them away to get food. But Jesus was like here, let me fix it.
As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.”
“We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” (There were about five thousand men.)
He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” They did so, and everyone was seated.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.-Luke 9:12-17 (Berean Study Bible)
