Jesus told a grieving father to stop fearing and simply believe.
When Jairus received news that his daughter had died, Jesus spoke two simple commands: 'Fear not: believe only.' Fear and faith struggle for dominance in our hearts. Jesus calls us to dismiss fear and embrace belief. The promise attached is that belief leads to deliverance and wholeness, even in seemingly hopeless situations.
