"They commanded the sisters of Lazarus
to say unto Jesus, Lord, the one whom you love is sick." John 11: 3
We know from this passage that Lazarus was
sick and died. But Jesus, after four days in which he had died, raised him up,
astonishing all!
We all live situations that seem dead and
dry.
What, in your point of view, has no way in
your life? What needs a true resurrection?
I do not know what situation you might be
facing right now. Perhaps a desperate diagnosis, a possible bankruptcy,
unemployment, a deep depression, a broken relationship, a drugged son, a lost
dream, lack of freedom or even the loss of someone very dear. What to do when
our world seems to be collapsing and there is no more hope?
We learn from this story two very important
things with the Lazarus sisters: first of all, they resorted to the right
person; and they also did not forget how much Jesus loved his brother and loved
them too.
When do you feel lost, discouraged or even
desperate, to whom have you first toured? To people around you, to natural
resources, to your own human capacity? And have you stopped, when everything is
agitated, and remembered the incomparable love of God for you?
So, do this exercise from now on and you will
see how the peace of God will invade your heart even in the middle of the
storm.
Calm your heart! Jesus has the solution for
everything you need, even for those who can not even imagine the way out!
Prayer: Father, often, when situations get
worse, I rush and try, first, to solve everything in my own way. In this
affliction, I forget that I can count on you, because I know that you love me
more than anyone else could love me. My answer is in you. I can trust and wait
on you. Thank you for being so wonderful to me. In the name of Jesus, amen.
Pr. Helio Peixoto
