"Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, 'Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.'" ~Luke 8:50, NIV
Jairus had asked Jesus to come to his house and heal his daughter, and Jesus, being who He is, said yes. On the way we know that another healing took place, one that 'cost' time. Messengers told Jairus his daughter was dead, and that he didn't need to bother the teacher.
The situation probably seemed hopeless to Jairus, but Jesus knew better. He said something I love to repeat: Don't be afraid; just believe.
Our situations often seem hopeless, because we have a very limited perspective and struggle learning God's perspective. But He knows what He sees, and He knows what He will do. And from past experiences, usually it is stunning. In your hopeless situation, don't let fear consume you, but believe He is watching and waiting and going to act in you.
Jairus' daughter was raised from the dead. What's He gonna do for you?
