BELIEVE: Don't be afraid, just believe - Mark 5:36

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at Him. After He put them all out, He took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with Him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. Mark 5:35-43

Prayer
I believe in You, Lord Jesus, my Wonderful Savior. Please help me conquer all fear and overcome all doubt with patient endurance. As I reflect on this story and what You did for Jairus, who approached You for his daughter, it assures me that You care for the hurting and long to save the dying. Holy Spirit, when I experience personal hardships, please remind me of the words of Jesus: "Don't be afraid; just believe." Teach me to be a light to my children and family members who are suffering from an illness or going through a tribulation by immediately turning to Jesus for help, as Jairus did. Abba Father, I believe that all things are possible with You. Please hear my cry as I intercede and come to You for salvation on behalf of others in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
