A devotional reflection on Jesus raising Jairus’s twelve?year?old daughter.
Miracles of Restoration
Jesus brings hope where death has spoken. Jairus came to Jesus in desperation, only to receive the crushing news that his daughter had died. Yet Jesus urged him not to fear but to believe. Entering the house, Jesus took the girl by the hand and restored her to life. This miracle reveals His authority over death and His compassion toward grieving families.
Fear not: believe only. (Luke 8:50)
The maid is not dead, but sleepeth. (Luke 8:52)
Maid, arise. (Luke 8:54)
Christian Application
This devotional encourages believers that Jesus is present even when situations seem final. He speaks life where hope has died and brings comfort where sorrow overwhelms. Bring your grief and fears to Jesus today. Trust Him to speak life into what feels lost.
Sample Prayer
Lord, strengthen my faith when hope seems gone. Speak life into my heart and restore my confidence in You. Amen.
