Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. Matthew 9:20-22

“You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done, You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say, “You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!

Day 4 of 9 of The Surrender Novena by Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970).

There is no medicine more powerful than the loving intervention of Jesus. This idea took me to the woman who just wanted to touch the cloak of Jesus believing it would heal her.

By her actions she took her impossible situation to Jesus and he took care of everything. She’s a model for us. Jesus can do miracles when we take our impossible situations to Him.

Let’s do that right now. Needs of the church or ministry too great? Jesus you take care of it. Health or personal issues overwhelming you? Jesus, you take care of it.

No one wants to need a miracle but everyone wants to see one. I do not think they happen until humble servants surrender their challenges in faith to the loving intervention of Jesus.

This relates to generosity though we see evil growing around us, we need not worry. We need not be overcome by the evil but overcome the evil with good.

O Jesus, we surrender ourselves to you, take care of everything!
