Take comfort in the story when Jesus was told about Lazarus; "that the one you love is ill" (John 11). Jesus was not reminded that the one who loves you is ill. Instead, Jesus was addressed in terms of his relationship with Lazarus. This distinction is important because it reveals the fact that God does not answer prayers based on how we have felt and acted towards him. Our Fathers love is perfect and unconditional. Our faith and love toward God may wax and wain but his love and commitment to us is always the same.
The power of prayer is from the one who hears it, not the one who asks.
Father the one you love needs some help.
The one You love is afraid.
The one You love is sick.
The one You love is sad.
The one You love is worried.
The one You love needs you.
May your love of God grow each and every day. Amen.
