He sent a servant ahead to explain the situation

He stayed where he was and waited for a sign

Wait until the situation improves on its own

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life, heal what is broken, and lead me in your way. Amen.

Come to Jesus for Life

Lord, wake up your Church with the compassion of this father. Make us quick to come to Jesus for hurting families, bold to keep asking, and tender enough to care deeply for those in pain. Renew our prayers for the sick, the frightened, and the dying, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church to Bring the Hurting

Thank God for Jesus' willingness to receive desperate people, for the mercy that hears urgent requests, and for the hope that he is not far from suffering families.

Gratitude for Jesus' Readiness

Father, I bring before you the one I love who is facing a serious illness or crisis. Please come near, give healing, and do what only you can do, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heal My Loved One

Pray for: parents who are afraid for a child; believers who are carrying urgent requests; and a church that learns to bring desperate needs to Jesus with faith and persistence.

Families Under Pressure

Name the person, state the need plainly, ask Jesus for help, and return to the same prayer whenever fear tells you to stop.
