Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon-possessed man and the pigs. 17And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone.

The herdsmen fled to the nearby town, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men. 34Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.

Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them.

For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” 

Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. 34And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

“Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”

Lord God my Father,

Remove my desire to find comfort in my defects, Clean me from my dysfunctional ways and restore me to the wholeness you created me to be. Rid me of evil, heal me from my life long struggles.
