The Faith of Jairus

Open by taking 2-3 minutes to pray and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Read Luke 8:40-56. Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  

After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.  

What were some practical ways that Jairus demonstrated trust in Jesus? Thinking about your life and what you need from Jesus, what are some practical ways Jesus is requiring you to trust Him right now?

Now take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Ask God to give you the faith to trust what He is doing in your life right now. Talk through the difficulties and what you need from Him to be faithful.
3. Talk through the ways you were challenged through the reflection time.  
4. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
