Ohana Prayer 252 – Matthew 8
2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.
24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

The church was called to have unification amount You and us and You also lives in our hearts and we are satisfied! For the great salvation that You afforded us by Your mercy, we will always ponder and meditate on it!
Fox has holes, birds have nests, but dear Lord Jesus have nowhere to dwell even for a moment. You were restless due to the small faith of the disciples, awaken to rebuke of the storm and You have never just leave us behind. Facing this pandemic, we pray for Your mercy to be bestow on us. Understanding that all things are under Your control and firmly trusting that Your grace is sufficient! You have affirmed to us “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, we can will boast all the more gladly about our weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
