Let's lift up Smuiloreormir for a good court outcome and peace from stress. "Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" (1 Pet. 5:7). Trusting God's justice and comfort. In Jesus' name! 
Let's lift each other up in prayer!
In Jesus' Name.Holding [the dead girl's] hand, [Jesus] said to her, "Talitha koum," which means "Little girl, get up!" And the girl, who was twelve years old, immediately stood up and walked around! [The girl's parents and the three disciples] were overwhelmed and totally amazed. Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anyone what had happened, and then he told them to give her something to eat.
—Mark 5:41-43 NLT
Key Thought
There was an immediate change in the "state" of this girl. One moment she was dead. The next she was alive. Her parents were "overwhelmed and totally amazed," and how could they not be? There is no place for us to put this occurrence in the normal range of human experiences. How does one understand this event or even contemplate such an event? Trying to explain it to someone else does not make sense. Jesus' power over death is astounding! Jesus is astounding.
Today's Prayer
Gracious and Almighty God, your power and grace are astounding. I know that you have power over the physical death which is at work within me. Help me, dear Father, to cling to the memories I have of your gracious love and patience as I try to deal with death personally or confront it through my friendships with others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
