Luke 8 : 49 - 56


49 While he yet spake,
there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house,
saying to him,
Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it,
he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house,
he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John,
and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept,
and bewailed her:
but he said, Weep not;
she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out,
and took her by the hand,
and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway:
and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished:
but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Grant that we may come to you in the Spirit.
Through your Spirit gather us and many others on earth
around our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Savior of humankind.
May our hearts become truly free because you deliver us from
all bondage to our own natures and to the world around us.
As free people may we be led safely through distress,
fear, and want, through need and death.
May we become happy children whom Jesus Christ has called to life,
children who are not discouraged by the struggle but who
fight joyfully for your kingdom until it can be revealed to all the world.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
