Seek God Through ItSample

Have you ever just had enough and said, "God, if You don't do it, I'm not sure I can make it"? Sometimes seeking God seems difficult in the midst of constant turmoil and suffering. Even in trying to keep the faith, we tend to only see it slipping away from us. Let's look at the woman with the issue of blood. She had this issue for 12 years. She was in pain for 12 years. She suffered for 12 years. I can imagine that she probably prayed and had other people pray for her for 12 years. Mark 5:25 says she suffered a great deal, had seen many doctors, and only got worse. I find this to be so relatable because, for some, it seems as though life has only brought more and more trauma. No matter who we talk to—family, friends, therapists, pastors—the pain we feel only gets worse. This woman made a decision in her subconscious. She believed if she would touch His clothes, she would be made whole. It was the faith in her seeking that made her whole. She pressed through crowds, her pain, and her bleeding—her traumatic experience—to get to Jesus. Seeking God will only lead to the place, not a place, but THE place of restoration and healing. There are some things that your pastor, family, friends, and therapist cannot fix, solve, nor make better. Only God can make you and me whole. This is the beauty of seeking Him. Day 3: * Set time alone to worship, truly seeking Him. * Meditate on Matthew 5:25-34
