Jack and Ellie

Luke 8:50 "...Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."

A man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, has a daughter who is very ill.  He came to Jesus to ask him to heal his daughter.  Upon arriving at the home, Jesus tells the family to not be afraid but instead believe.  He assures them that their daughter will be healed.

Sometimes I open God's word to read exactly what I need at the moment.  Today my kids are on their third day at a new school.  The first week hasn't been the best. Today my heart aches for my kids.  I needed to hear these words from Jesus today.  I am to not be afraid for them, but instead believe.  He will take care of them.  And honestly, that's all I can do at this point, so today I once again give my kids to Jesus.

Dear Jesus, please protect Ellie and Jack today.  Please. Amen.
