There is no more helpless feeling than when your child is sick. In this chapter, Jairus' daughter was sick and in need of a touch from Jesus. He was a "leader of the synagogue" who likely had previously rejected Jesus. Now he was desperate. Now he needed Jesus! His daughter was on death's door.
Why is it that we often lose sight of God in the midst of His blessing? Why do we need desperation before we turn to Him? Jesus wants to be a part of ALL of our life, not just the "help in time of need".
Relationships are best when they are central to our everyday lives. I tend to avoid "relationships" that only happen when they "need" something. We actually "need" Jesus all the time. Don't let trial be the only thing that makes us aware of that.
