1 Corinthians 13:2-3
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Afraid ?
Tonight i was Reading Mark 5:21-43 and in those verses you find the story of Jesus who heals the little Girl but before he heals the Girl the someone says she has died and the synagogue ruler says why bother the teacher anymore.
Jesus replies and says in verse 36 “Don’t be Afraid – Just Believe”
Why this stood out for me is the fact that how many times have we ourselves been in situations and virtually found it so distressing that one actually feels afraid of that situation and most people want to give up – i personally have been in many situations where it feels like no hope is left and i know exactly how it feels – have you ever been or felt afraid of a given situation ……………??
and just like the synagogue ruler said “don’t bother the teacher anymore” he basically gave up and thought the situation is hopeless as the little girl had died. All of us have had such times of feeling hopeless that it scares us and in turn we become afraid.
Its a fine example of how we loose hope and in turn start to get afraid in general with the situation.
No matter what the situation Jesus says “Dont be afraid – Just Believe'”
So next time you feel afraid remember those simple words from Jesus – JUST BELIEVE

Psalm 37:39-40
The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

When Is It Time To Pray ??
Have you ever had anyone come to you and say, "Tell me...how do you know when it is time to pray?"
I mean our stomachs growl when it is time to eat.
Our eyes start closing when it is time to sleep.
When our feelings get hurt, it is time for tears,
With a new birth it is time to care.
People will often tell us, quite so,
When it is time to come, or stay, or go.
But how do you know when it is time to pray?
Does an alarm go off next to your bed?
Or is there a clanging inside your head?
Do your eyes start blinking, a horn start blowing?
Or do you listen for a rooster crowing?
Just what is your way of knowing when it is time to pray?
With me...
I find it is time to pray
At the beginning and ending of each day (IMPORTANT).
And when I am sick and feeling bad,
Or scared, lonely, lost, or sad.
When the bills blow in like sand
I seek a touch of the Master's hand.
When I need patience, hope and peace
And an abiding love that will not cease.
When I am thankful for all there is
That now is mine, and yet is His.
Gladness, sadness, joy and grief
We share in prayer. And it is my belief
That whenever my heart has something to say
That is how I know when it's time to pray.
