"I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But You, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death! As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest pray went out to You in Your holy temple. Those who worship false gods turn their back on all God's mercies. But I will offer sacrifices to You with songs of praise, and I will fulfill my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone." (Jonah 2:5-9 NLT).

Lord, help us never run from You, and if we do, help us to remember Your mercy and come back, in Jesus' name.

“Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat. They tried to take him inside to Jesus, but they couldn’t reach him because of the crowd. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.” But the Pharisees and teachers of religious law said to themselves, “Who does he think he is? That’s blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!”

Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you question this in your hearts? Is it easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’? So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”

And immediately, as everyone watched, the man jumped up, picked up his mat, and went home praising God.” Luke 5:18-25 NLT

Jesus, help us surround ourselves with friends who believe in your miracle, healing power.

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I will trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection." (Psalm 91:1-4, NLT).

Lord, help us rest in Your shadow, and trust You as our place of safety, in Jesus' name. (Art by Mark Maggiori, markmaggiori.com. Used by permission. Thanks, Mark, and God bless you.)
