But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on, and went home praising God.

When Jesus said to Matthew “Follow Me”
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5: 20, NIV Jesus was in a large crowd when He noticed a group of friends who were helping a paralyzed man.

Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.

Dear God, Please comfort those who are Crying in Silence
I may not know their names Lord, but I pray that you will continue to touch their hearts. Make them more sensitive of your presence. Open their eyes and heart so that they can welcome your healing.

Please…

God Welcomes you and your Thoughts, so do not be Afraid to tell Him Everything
We sometimes take our time crafting the words we want to tell God. Our impression of prayer is that it needs to be precise, reasonable, intentional, and full of praise. It isn’t wrong. But there is more to prayer than that. Prayer is our one way of communicating with God. It is a perfect time to tell Him everything our thoughts could land unto. Whatever that is in our mind, we can tell everything to Him. That is why there is always a reason why we need to talk to Him every day. Let us remember that God is not counting our faults, but He wants to do various miracles…
