Mark 5:35-36 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
Word came to a father
His sick daughter was dead
But the Lord heard the news
And the things they said
Immediately He knew
How the father would fear
So, He quickly spoke up
To bring him good cheer
“Don’t be afraid,
But only believe!”
For He knew how fear blocks
Our ability to receive
Learn to control emotions
Just as Jesus said
Get rid of negativity
By speaking positively instead
Talk to yourself
Just as He would do
Just think and imagine
What He would say to you
Then take to heart
The advice He would give
Let His words encourage
And dictate how you live
Dear Lord…Thank You for Your example to Jairus, which teaches us that when we look at our circumstances or hear bad news, we must not allow our emotions to take over and steal our faith and trust in You. Help us to remember to follow Your example to by determining what You would say to us in such times so that we can stay in faith and see You at work in our lives. Teach us to use this principal in everyday life, not only trying times. Thank You Lord…in Jesus’ name, Amen!
