We Need Jesus!
Jesus went in the boat back across to the other side of the lake. There, many people gathered around him by the lake. A leader of the synagogue came to that place. His name was Jairus. Jairus saw Jesus and bowed down before him. Jairus begged and begged Jesus. He said, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her. Then she will be healed and will live." -- Mark 5:21-23 (ERV) Desperation leads us to do dramatic things! While the people flock to Jesus, the religious leaders are reluctant to put their faith in him and are often hostile to him. Jairus is different. He knows he needs Jesus. He demonstrates his need for Jesus. He pleads with Jesus because of his need. He makes clear that he believes that Jesus can bring the blessing he so desperately needs. In these ways, Jairus models to us what our attitude needs to be. We know we need Jesus. We are willing to demonstrate our need to Jesus. We are happy to declare our faith in Jesus' power to bring the blessings we most need in our lives. God help us to not let pride, peer pressure, or worldly pursuits block our path to the Savior!

There is a song that keeps going through my head if any one can find it on you tube, I would apopreciate it.
I need you Jesus , come to my rescue. A very present help in time of need. I think my son would find it for me.
