“The hardest place to trust God is in the space between your prayers and your answer.”
1. Jesus Cares About Your Pain (Public Pains & Private Pains)
-Jairus = public, respected (a ruler of the synagogue)
-Woman = hidden, ashamed
2. Faith Moves Even When You Feel Unworthy
Mark 5:27-28 (ESV)
27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”
Faith isn’t just having extreme confidence—it’s movement toward Jesus.
3. Delays Don’t Mean Denial
Luke 8:49-55 (ESV)
49 While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” 50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” 51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat.
What looks like a delay to us is not a limitation to Jesus

When Delays happen:
First, Replace panic with trust
Then, Hold onto faith in the waiting
Don’t allow delay to cause you to dismiss the divine.
What we reach out to when our answer is delayed matters.
