HEALED AT LAST
Part 1

 

Have you been following the multitudes of this world, to find hope and peace in your troubled heart and mind?  Let me tell you about a woman who was chained by a problem.  Her problem was having an issue of blood for twelve years.  (How long have you been living in your problems?)  She spent all her living upon many physicians.  Yes, she had spent all she had and was not getting better, but rather, she grew worse.

In her day, if a woman had an issue of blood longer then her menstrual cycle, she was considered unclean.  Not only was she considered unclean, but anything she touched was also considered unclean.  Can you imagine how unworthy she felt? How lonely she was?  I wonder how many nights in those twelve years did she cry out for help, wondering in her mind if anyone heard her plea.

What about you?  Can you relate to how she must have felt?  Do you feel unclean?  Is there pain in your life that only you and God know about?  Have you tried everything you could think of to find some relief?  To experience some joy?  Are you crying out in the secret corner of your heart and mind?  Do you wonder if anyone hears you?  Do you feel like giving up!

I’m here to tell you there is hope. God is waiting to hear you call upon His name.

We will continue her story in the next lesson.

Pray this prayer with sincerity:

Father, I come to you saying, “I feel so unclean; I feel so worthless.  I have tried everything this life can offer and nothing seems to work.  I go to bed feeling insecure and helpless, and I wake up with the same feelings of insecurity and helplessness.  Please break this chain of brokenness.  Help me to find peace in my troubled mind.

God is saying to you there is hope for your future.  

Luke 8:40-48 / Mark 5:24-26 / Lev. 15:25-30 / Jeremiah 31:17

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
