DAY 5: SATURDAY AUGUST 5. 2023.
TODAY’S INSPIRATION: MATTHEW 9V20-22.
“20 ¶ And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.” (KJV)
INSPIRATION NOTE:
Matthew 9:20-22 is a profound testament to the transformative power of restoration. In this passage, we witness a woman who had been suffering for years, finding hope in Jesus. Her relentless pursuit of healing, driven by faith, led her to reach out and touch the fringe of Jesus’ garment. In that moment, she experienced a miraculous restoration – her bleeding stopped, and she was made whole.
This story ignites a spark within us, reminding us that no matter how broken or far gone we may feel, restoration is within reach. Just as the woman’s physical condition was transformed, we too can witness restoration in every aspect of our lives. Whether it be our relationships, our dreams, or our inner peace, Jesus offers us the opportunity for renewal and wholeness.
This passage urges us to approach Jesus with unwavering faith, believing that He has the power to restore whatever has been lost or broken. It encourages us to persistently seek Him, trusting that in our most desperate moments, He is waiting to extend His healing touch. Let us find inspiration in the story of the woman in Matthew 9:20-22, and step into the journey of restoration with hope, faith, and the assurance that our brokenness can be transformed into something beautiful.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
In light of Matthew 9:20-22, we come before You with heartfelt gratitude for the hope of restoration that You offer us. Just as the woman reached out in faith and found healing, we humbly ask for Your touch of restoration in our lives.
Grant us the courage to persistently seek You, knowing that in our weakness, You are strong. Like the woman who believed in your power, we place our faith in Your ability to restore what is broken and make us whole.
May Your divine touch bring healing to our wounded hearts, relationships, and dreams. Align us with Your divine purpose, and let restoration flow through every aspect of our lives.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
