Go home, your son will live.
The man believed what Jesus had said.
We have we to know not just to take but give.
To know how to be led.
It’s strange how our prayers are answered.
Not always in the way we want.
Sometimes the answer is unclear , stammered.
Even in a death crisis it almost seems a taunt.
The court official asked Jesus to come with him.
But he had faith when that didn’t happen.
Do we have faith even if our position is grim.
Or do we expect always our hearts to gladden.
After prayer we often turn on our heel.
Not ready in gratitude to kneel.
…..
Often in prayer
We do not receive answers
But just be patient

See John 4 : 43-54
