Day 197 -Psalm 146:5
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. Psalms 146:5,NIV Do not put your trust in things that will slowly destroy you in the end.

Fix your eyes on God and trust in His great love. Depend on His power and not on your own strength. Follow His ways, and in Him, you will experience the kind of happiness that this world can never give. When…

Father God, Please help my Unbelief
Father, I can’t do this without you. There are times when my mind is full of doubts. What if things will not go well? What if the pain will not end? What if this mess grows bigger? I’m just so tired. I hear so many voices in my head telling me to give up and stop everything that I’m doing. I hear a whisper that says, I am worthless. I know you are there, but why can’t I feel you? Why can’t I feel your love? Where are you, Lord? I need your help. Please increase my faith. It seems like I’m on my own now. I’m so lonely and…

Do you Believe that Jesus can Heal you?
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. Matthew 9:27-31, NIV Jesus can heal people just like what He did to the…

The Faith of the Bleeding Woman
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

Pray that God will give you these Kinds of Friends
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get Him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2: 1-5, NIV…
