"...Daughter, your faith as healed you." (Mark 5:34)

A woman bled for 12 long years, suffering as much under the care of her doctors as with her ailment.  After spending her entire savings seeking a cure, she only grew worse.  Would her suffering ever end?Then news of Jesus reached her, and both in desperation and renewed hope the woman pushed her way into the crowd which followed and at times almost crushed him.  She reached out to Jesus, believing that if she could just touch his cloak she would be healed.And she was!When the woman took hold of the Kingdom, now in her sight and within reach, she experienced God's healing in her life.  Jesus said that her faith healed her.  Faith in him, faith from him.  Faith that grew out of her long suffering, with the power to finally free her.Prayer:  Lord, help us to push through everything going on around us and in faith take hold of your promises, so that we can experience your healing power today.
