Please say please

You can not get it, because you don't pray. Do you recon that saying?

Or then... say the magic word! Say "please"... this is more like it, what we time-to-time use. Mostly on the children.

I happened to read today a story about a boy with an unclean spirit (epileptic). Once a upon a time one boy was really sick. He fell during his pains, foam came out of his mouth, he grind his teeth and in the end became rigid. Not only his father, but neighbors were worried about him.

They called A-team who happened to be nearby. Jesus and his disciples. But it didn't work. Boy remained sick, and people went to tell the bad news to Jesus. "I asked your disciples to cast it (sicknesses spirit) out, but they could not do so," someone blamed.

Then the story took another curve, Jesus came into action. And it is so astonishingly different how he saw! I made one small comparison.

1. People brought boy to disciples.
Jesus said "Bring him to me."

2. Someone said to Jesus that disciples failed.
Jesus said "You faithless generation!"

3. Boys father asked: if you are able to heal."
Jesus asked: "If you are able to believe, all things can be done!"

4. Boys father prayed to Jesus: "Help my unbelief!"
Jesus ordered the unclean spirit: "I command, come out, never enter!"

5. The disciples asked, where was their healing.
Jesus asked, where was the prayer.

So where, in whose mouth was the prayer left?
