And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
Matthew 9:20-22
Lord Jesus I come to You today reminding myself that You can do the impossible for me too. I confess I am guilty of trusting that You will intervene for folks around me but have doubts that You will do the same for me. I find regularly instances where I am touching and agreeing with others for miracles in their lives while harboring doubts in my own mind regarding my circumstances. Often times I am afraid to bring my problems to You, believing either that they are too trivial for You to deal with, or worse, that they are beyond help. These thoughts are fueled by a world that calls me to question what I stand on. It says over and over again, “Does God really care?” Well, this morning my soul says, “If I can but touch the hem of Your garment.” This morning I don’t care what those around me might think or what the naysayers have to say about my trust in You. I know in my heart of hearts that You not only can bring about the transformation that I long for in my life, but that You are willing to do so. So today, even as I bring others to You with obstacles and challenges that are beyond their ability to breakthrough, I come to You with my “impossibles” looking for You to do what only You can do – bless me. Lord, I lay before Your feet today all of my cares and all of my concerns. I give to You all that has been burdening me, my friends and my loved ones, my headaches and my heartaches. I give to You the problems that keep me up at night and the relationships I can’t see to get right. I give over to You my money problems and my self-esteem challenges. Lord, I choose to perform a soul dump today, laying at Your feet each and every thing that weighs me down, looking to You to do something miraculous in my life. Master, I surrender to You the wavering of my faith and the limits that I place on You when it comes to my life. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief! Move on my spirit this day and grant me that peace, which passes all understanding, that You have promised to all who cast their cares upon You. They are Yours Lord. Have Your way. I pray this in Your Holy and Righteous Name. Amen.
