Daily Thoughts - Into the deep.
"He said to them, "This kind can only come out through prayer." Mark 9:29
The power of prayer. What is Jesus telling us in this story of the healing of the possessed young boy? What is God telling the disciples as they could not drive out the demon? My thoughts turn to the power of prayer, not the prayer that we say when we are in trouble and in need but to daily prayer. There is power in daily prayer, Jesus demonstrates this power within the story.
"Then the boy's father cried out, "I do believe, help my unbelief!" Mark 9:24. What about the disciples unbelief, have they gotten to that place that it is no longer I but Christ within. Daily prayer at the feet of the Master reveals many things within one's life and the lives of Jesus and His followers. You can place yourself at the scene and witness first hand what is going on within the mind's eye.
Our power comes from above when we place our trust in Him and give of ourselves within daily prayer. The type that engages our senses and memories. Healing comes in many forms and it is prayer that will cleanse the soul of what ails it.
Dear Father, there is peace within the quiet of the day as we journey thru time to witness Your healing power. I sit and contemplate the Seat of Wisdom and glory of You, Father as you fill the void that is created by sin. Prayers for memories that are in need of healing, for minds that are carrying guilt and shame when it was only a child being an innocent child. Thank You Father for teaching and loving upon us, Amen.
Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
