Title: You Can Always Talk to Jesus about Your Issues

Text: Mark 5:25-34

Observation:

You may feel that you are not walking close enough to God to gain his ear. Perhaps you should reconsider after reading the account of the woman mentioned in our reading today.

The woman, feeble as her faith may have been, took her 12 year issue to Jesus, and found in him the help that she had searched so desperately for from many physicians. Up to this time, no one could help her, no one could heal her.

Here is what each of us can take away from this woman's story. The quantity of faith does not matter; the thing that matters is the object of our faith. We can take our issues; small or big, to the Lord in prayer. He is able to help us, and he is willing to help us. You can talk to Jesus; he is waiting for you to ask him for what you need.

1 Peter 5:7 (HCSB)
⁷ casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you.

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for the open door that Jesus has to receive the requests of his believing daughters and sons. Father, I may not be able to reach up and touch his hand, but give me enough faith to bow down and touch his garment. In Jesus name, Amen.

Isaiah 50:4 (HCSB)
⁴ The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of those who are instructed to know how to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens ⌊Me⌋ each morning; He awakens My ear to listen like those being instructed.
