Scripture

Matthew 9:2
Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."

Observation

This verse reminds me of the family and friends who are dear to my heart. They are always there especially during the times when I feel paralyzed by all the temptations, doubt, confusion and struggles that surround my life. Always carrying me on their shoulders to where He is.

Application

Today I want to be a friend who can be there for others. Today I want to open my ears to those who are silently crying out. Today I want to be someone who can used to bring those who are paralyzed one step closer to Him.

Prayer

Thank you Father as you remind me of the loving people that surround my life and how important it is to love others as you do. Please let this day of clarity be with me tomorrow as I face the evils of what is in front of me. Give me strength to stand and walk on my own two feet.
