And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
—Matthew 21:22
Our Heavenly Father hears us when we call, when we call in distress, in pain, in sickness. His ears are inclined to our cry. The above verse encourages us to ask Him all things. When we were little children, we would run to our father or mother when we needed something. God wants His children to come to Him with every problem of ours. Our Heavenly Father is pleased when we talk to Him about our needs, our disappointments, and even our successes. Jesus loves you and cares for you. When Jesus was on this earth, He constantly communed with His Father in prayer, sometimes all through the night. How much more we need such fellowship with our God. Would you take time to pray?

Jesus encountered lots of children throughout His ministry. He took children in His arms and blessed them. He used the gift of a child's bread and fish to feed more than 5,000 people. He said that we must become humble like them to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Caring for children is not easy, and it often goes unappreciated. But to everyone who lovingly cares for children and leads them to Jesus, His words remain precious and true: "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me" (Mark 9:37).
Jesus loves children. He invites us all to be the children of God, and we are safe in His love forever.

When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’ Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me. Matthew 25:40
As we walked down the corridors of the hospital, we saw rows and rows of beds with sick people. We went to the orthopedic section. Two pairs of eyes welling up with tears. Broken legs and fractured spine. They had jumped off a balcony to escape abuse and r**e. We reached out to them and shared the love of Christ. They were so eager and opened their hearts to Him. Misery was all around us. People of all ages, suffering with various ailments. God has given us many opportunities to reach out to those who are hurting, physically and mentally. How often we've been so self-absorbed!
Friends, let's step out, even in the midst of our pain. There are millions who are hurting, who need a word, a gentle touch, a hug.
