Ohana Prayer 235 – Mark 5
18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
Blessings to the omnipotence and eternal Jehovah, our Heavenly Father! When we examine in detail the order of things that You placed surrounded us with, we can no longer be silent but to confess You out loud. Yielding to the appointments that You placed in our lives. Close examination of ourselves only to confess of our foolishness, pride, follies, and immaturity in us, always murmur to the unpleasantness or bad things happened. Failed to acknowledge that all things are providential along with the seasons and Your purpose of in us. Let us learn of all things are ordained to bring understanding and blessings from You no matter what they are and be contented.
Jesus, our Lord, thank you for You coming into the Earth. Proclaimed directly that when we cry out and pray to You, prayers will be answered, seeking You and found, knocking on the door will be answered. Delivered freedom from those bounded like casting out the evil spirit, immediate healing of the woman’s blood bleeding ailment, even death was overturned. Most importantly, breaking the chain of Sin holding us.
Your coming to Earth is not to endure the painfulness of humanity, quite contrary, to see of Your shedding of tears, to experience Your hand’s touch and the healing power come forth! You speak, the storm calmed, the evil spirits ran, even death is no longer! Yet You speak tenderly and softly to us to pick up our cross daily to follow You, to bear the yoke by faith and learn of You, in reality, Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light.
Holy Spirit, for You has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline, to overcome the powerful grip of Satan and his bondage of sin. Grant us the power, victory in the name of Jesus, a watchful heart, avoid the temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away back to rim of darkness. The current pandemic appears to have heighten and has affected us in many ways, of spiritual failure, damages to our bodies and mental compacity, and feeling of this virus’ circling, enthralled us. Yet when we firmly lifting up our hands to pray to our Heavenly Father for His mercy, not relying of horse and chariots for delivery, but to experience of Your comfort and peace walking through the valleys, even the valley of death!
Blessings to this prayer for we ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!
