“Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. 25To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given.

“Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

So Jesus gave them permission. The evil spirits came out of the man and entered the pigs,

“Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to surrender my will to your care, keep me in your confidence and strength. Release the strongholds evil has in my life and give me a faith that conquers all fears.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
