Ruth 3:1-4:22; Isaiah 43:1-44:5; 2 Corinthians 3:1-4:6
Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her. Luke 4:38 NKJV
What a beautiful prayer. Lord help her! This wasn’t a petition for what Jesus should do, or how He should do it, or even when He should. It was simply, “Lord help!” We may often struggle to know God’s will in various situations and how we should pray. But this kind of simple, submitted supplication can cover all we need to ask of Him. Lord, You know what’s best. Lord, You understand the situation, Lord, You see what I can’t see. Lord, please help! Amen. —Deborah Manera
If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress; if cares distract or fears dismay;
If guilt deject, if sin distress; in every case, still watch and pray. —J. Hart
