　葉魯是一個愛上帝的人，今天讀的經文告訴我們，他的女兒生重病、快死了，於是葉魯就去找耶穌，求耶穌醫治他的女兒。
就在耶穌要去葉魯家的時候，有人來告訴葉魯，說他的女兒已經死了，但耶穌告訴葉魯：「不要怕，只要信！」（第36b節）耶穌到了葉魯家，進到葉魯女兒的房間，耶穌就對她說：「『小女孩，我吩咐你，起來！』女孩子立刻起來行走」（第41b-42a節）。
葉魯去找耶穌是因為他知道耶穌可以幫他，有時候當我們有困難時，我們不斷努力想要解決問題，直等到我們不知道該怎麼辦時才禱告尋求耶穌的幫助，但是我們應該先禱告才對！
如果你今天遇到困難──財務問題、病痛、離婚、所愛的人過世──一定要禱告，懇求上帝來幫助你。 —JK

（耶穌說：）「你們為甚麼大哭大嚷呢？孩子並沒有死，只是睡著了。」 馬可福音5:39b

禱告：親愛的天父上帝，當我遇到困難時我願永遠尋求祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Mark 5:21-24, 35-43

　Jairus was a man who loved God. Our Bible Reading tells us that Jairus' daughter was sick and dying. Jairus came to Jesus and begged Jesus to heal his daughter.
As Jesus was going to Jairus' house, some men came and told Jairus that his daughter had died. But Jesus said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid; just believe” (verse 36b). Jesus went to Jairus' house. He went to the room where Jairus' daughter was. Jesus said, “‘Little girl, I tell you to stand up!’ The girl stood up and began walking” (verses 41b-42a).
Jairus went to Jesus because he knew that Jesus could help him. Sometimes when we have a problem, we work and work to solve the problem. Then when we don't know what to do, we pray and ask for help. But we should pray first!
If you are facing problems today — financial problems, sickness, divorce, the death of a loved one — be sure to pray and ask God to help you. —JK

[Jesus said,] “Why are you people crying and making so much noise? This child is not dead. She is only sleeping.” Mark 5:39b

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I want to always ask You for help when I have a problem. In Jesus' name. Amen.
