Dear Lord Jesus, Good Shepherd of the lambs of God, I need you to come to me today and make me lie down in pastures of green grace, for I have a restless and worried heart. I need the quieting waters of the you holy scriptures for healing of all the maladies in my soul caused by all the distress and problems I am facing which are due to my own faults. I need the kind of refreshment that cannot be found elsewhere but only in you the compassionate Christ. Speak through all my thoughts, Jesus. You know my voice and call me by name. I know your name and want to hear your voice more distinctly than any other voice.
Jesus your love is so abundant, and I believe at this very moment You are standing at the throne of heaven interceding for me to Father GOD (Romans 8:34). Because of you, Jesus, I don’t lack anything essential. As the Lamb of God, you took away my sin forever, and now I’m “dressed in your righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.” As the Lord of Lords, you are currently working in all things for my good and your glory. You rule the whole world with your truth and grace.
So shepherd me now, Jesus, to your glory and my growth. So very Amen I pray, in your tender and tenacious name. AMEN.
Romans 8:34
Who then is the one who condemns?
No one. Christ Jesus who died
—more than that,
who was raised to life
—is at the right hand of God
and is also interceding for us.
Psalm 23:1-2
The LORD is my shepherd,
I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
No matter what terrible situation you are in,
Think of JESUS, go to JESUS, HE is the ANSWER!
No matter what difficult problems you may face,
Think of JESUS, go to JESUS, HE is the ANSWER!
Even if you have sinned badly and feel unworthy to receive any help,
Think of JESUS, go to JESUS, HE is the ANSWER!
Even if you have serious doubts about Christians and Christianity,
Think of JESUS, go to JESUS, HE is the ANSWER!
For every problem in your life,
Think of JESUS, go to JESUS, HE is the ANSWER!
Many Christians have received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour,
and believe He can answer their prayers. You could say they have faith in Him.
The problem is many have never put their Faith in Jesus Christ to a living
action full of expectancy to receive. Many Christians have faith in their faith but few have true faith and trust in Lord Jesus Christ. In the holy scriptures and also happening today, many people came out in thousands to worship and praise Jesus as the Lord and
Saviour. Out of these people some who were blind, crippled and sick who needed healing
but they watched Jesus walk by them without ever receiving there miracle, why? The reason is they did not have 100% faith and trust in Jesus.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists and that he rewards
those who earnestly seek him.
Psalm 34:17
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
It honours and pleases the Lord Jesus Christ when you come to Him with a heart
full of expectancy to receive from Him. True living faith is alive and full of
fervent expectancy that will always reach out to Jesus to receive it's miracle.
If Jesus was to walk in your room and ask, "What can I do for you," would you be
ready to receive?
Mark 5: 21 - 43
| 21 | And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea. |
| 22 | Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Ja'irus by name; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, |
| 23 | and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." |
| 24 | And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. |
| 25 | And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, |
| 26 | and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. |
| 27 | She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. |
| 28 | For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well." |
| 29 | And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. |
| 30 | And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" |
| 31 | And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, `Who touched me?'" |
| 32 | And he looked around to see who had done it. |
| 33 | But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. |
| 34 | And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease." |
| 35 | While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" |
| 36 | But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." |
| 37 | And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. |
| 38 | When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly. |
| 39 | And when he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping." |
| 40 | And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. |
| 41 | Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Tal'itha cu'mi"; which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." |
| 42 | And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. |
| 43 | And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. |
Listen to Jesus. In Him there is no darkness only light.
~ Blessed John Paul II ~
