One day a while ago I found out that one of my friends’ daughters had tried to commit suicide. Thankfully she failed. That same day, after learning the news, I went to consult my devotional when it was prayer time. You would not believe the topic: Jesus raising the little girl back from death (Mark 5, and other gospels).

My friend’s daughter thankfully recovered and has gotten closer to Jesus since.
