In Faith They Reached Out

 

  Mk 6:53-56

Jesus Cures All

⁵³ When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. ⁵⁴ As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. ⁵⁵ They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

 Again we see crowds reaching out to Jesus for healing, expressing their faith and desperation. Jesus does not question or complain, but cures all. Perhaps in our prayer we are not so confident nor persistent. Perhaps we can learn from this scene and pray with more faith and confidence to our loving and accommodating Jesus.

Dear Jesus, help me to pray with more faith and confidence, and learn to trust in your loving care and desire for my well-being. Amen.
