MATTHEW 8:2-3
Then a leper came forward. He knelt before him and said,“Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said,
“I want to, be clean again.”
At that very moment, the man was cleansed from his leprosy.
Why do you doubt? Why are you worried and anxious? Why do you live as if you were an orphan? Isn't My Abba your Abba, am I not your brother, friend, Savior, redeemer, and am I not espoused to you? Why do you go about with a long face and a heavy heart when you have my Mother and yours, and all the angels and saints in heaven, who are continually praying for all your intentions and bringing them before us, the triune God, incessantly? You do your faith in Me a grave injustice when you do not believe what you know is true. Why do you allow the evil one to tempt you and shake your confidence in the power of My victorious right hand to save? Have I not assured you over and over again that, in the end, you will see that I have answered every prayer you have made and have soothed away every anxious doubt and worry? Why are you so fearful for the salvation of those you love? Are they not grafted to My Body, have they not been baptized, are they not adopted children of My Father, is not My Holy Spirit in them? Even though they have abandoned the faith and sin separates them from Me, My Holy Spirit is working in them for good, your prayers will be answered, and you will rejoice. Pray with faith, pray with expectation, pray with joy, and you will see the mighty hand of God bring about all that you are praying for and so much more than you could ever ask for or dream of. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
