Healing the Paralytic Prayer

Anchors: Mark 2:4, Luke 5:19

Father, four friends carried a man who could not walk. The house was too full. The door was blocked. So they went up on the roof and cut a hole and lowered him down on a mat right in front of You. You saw their faith. You forgave the man's sins. You healed his legs. Make me one of those friends for somebody in my church. I do not want to stop when the easy way is blocked. Send me to the next person I know who cannot get to You alone. Help me carry them to Christ on a mat. And if I have to cut a hole in the roof to do it, then cut a hole in the roof. Amen.
