When Jesus Seems Late

Have you ever prayed for God to act—only to watch the situation become more difficult while you waited? In Mark 5:21–43, Jairus asked Jesus to save his dying daughter. Jesus agreed to go with him, but then stopped along the way. While Jairus waited, the worst news arrived. Yet Jesus told him, “Do not fear, only believe.” This encouraging message reminds us that what feels like a delay is never neglect on the part of Jesus. He may not work according to our timetable, but He is never indifferent, never powerless, and never truly too late. If you are living somewhere between the prayer and the answer, we hope this message strengthens your faith and reminds you to keep walking with Jesus.
