THE UPPER ROOM 29TH SEPTEMBER 2022 DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TODAY’S READING
Mark 5:21-43

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Scripture reminds me that God is always near.

The Lord said, “You will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” – Jeremiah 29:12 (NIV)

My husband had been ill for several days, and we were worried he may have contracted the COVID-19 virus. We live with our parents and young children, and the idea of spreading the virus to them troubled us. We had him tested for the virus, and we found it challenging to wait patiently for the results.

Each evening after dinner my children, their caretaker, and I gather to read a passage from a children’s Bible. That evening when I opened the Bible to our story for the day, the title was “Jesus Heals.” I flipped back a page thinking maybe I had skipped ahead, but I hadn’t. I was filled with heartfelt gratitude because I knew God was speaking to me. I told my children’s caretaker about how God speaks to us through scripture. We need only to approach God faithfully, and God will guide us through our trials.

That night as I read aloud the story of Jesus giving life to Jairus’s sick daughter, I was assured that whatever test results my husband received, God would lead us through the tribulation. It was a peaceful night.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear God, guide our paths as we face everyday trials. Help us not to be anxious but rather assured of your presence and protection. Amen.

PRAYER FOCUS
COVID-19 patients and their caregivers
