COURAGE STORY · THE HEM · MARK 5
DAY 01
Twelve Years, and Worse
“She had suffered many things from many physicians, had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse.”
Mark 5:26
Reflection
Twelve years, every specialist, all the money, and the condition still advancing. Chronic illness carries a second weight on top of the first: the exhaustion of having tried everything already.
PRAY
God, I am tired of explaining this, tired of trying again, and tired of hoping carefully. Meet me in the twelfth year, not just at the beginning when I still had energy for it.
Amen.
DECLARE
Being tired of hoping does not mean I have failed at faith.
TODAY'S PRACTICE
Name the part of this that is exhaustion rather than illness. Tell one person that specific thing today.
