DAILY?READINGS: Ruth 2; Isaiah 42; 2 Corinthians 2
But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. Mark 1:30
In a short space of time, three of our neighbours faced surgery and the trauma of treatment for cancer. They endured a long, stressful battle but came through successfully. In each case, our main form of witness was saying that we would pray for them. It may not seem much in the eyes of the world but it is the most important action we can take as Christians. The people around Simon Peter’s mother-in-law immediately and without hesitation talked to the Lord about her need for healing. Are we slow to pray or do we, in every circumstance of need, turn to the Lord with intercession? —Paul Young
Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness, take it to the Lord in prayer. —J. Scriven
