“I did it my way…”

How many times had I bent over the toilet and stuck my finger down my throat? I know that's not a pretty thought. I knew that then too, and I was very ashamed of it. 

I really wanted to stop doing that! Again and again I said to myself, "That was the last time today!"...until it happened, again.

Maybe you’ve also tried to solve your problem so many times. You tried again and again! And maybe you also wonder why it doesn't seem to be working… ever. 

"friend, do you REALLY want it? Do you REALLY want to get well?”

"For she said, ‘If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.’" (Mark 5:28 NKJV)

I love the faith of this woman who had been suffering for years! Even the doctors confirmed that she would never get well and would have to learn to live with her problem.

As you continue reading the text, you’ll see that this woman even managed to surprise Jesus with her faith! He loves it when we trust Him! And His response to her perseverance was clear: “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” (Mark 5:34 NKJV)

In my situation, I had to change the approach of trying to save myself and learn to cry out to Jesus in my mess (literally). No, I was not healed immediately. It took years for me to become completely free, but I wasn’t relying on my own strength to get through every single day anymore. I was given godly strength, which made the whole difference!

Letting go of wanting it my way and letting faith lead the way will give you extra strength, courage and joy along the way!

“Turn your worries over to the Lord. He will keep you going. He will never let godly people be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22 MSG)

Will you also surprise Jesus with your perseverance today and show Him that you need Him, friend?

There is a miracle waiting for you!

You are a miracle!
