Motivational Monday: Push Through

Luke 8:48 "And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace" 

Have you ever been in a place where you've heard "no" more than you've heard "yes"? Perhaps you know someone who has experienced hardship after hardship and can't seem to catch a break. In these situations it is easy to feel like God has passed you up. It seems as though everyone around you who has prayed for something has been blessed with that something yet you still long for healing, deliverance, or just to be heard. The woman with the issue of blood probably had this same feeling as she had suffered a long 12 years. She had spent all that she had on failed treatments from various physicians. The power of Jesus was eminent around her as a large crowd had begun following Him and she was determined to get to Him. The difference between this woman and the multitude that followed was that she was looking to experience Christ while the others only wanted to see Him. She fought and pushed through to get to Him because she truly believed that He could heal her if only she could touch Him which is exactly what happened. 

The way we get to Jesus is through prayer. Just as this woman pushed we have to P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happens). Pray with purpose. Pray with faith. Pray with Confidence. Empty prayers exhibit a lack of belief. You have to believe in what you're praying for simultaneously believing in Who you're praying to. God doesn't give us empty promises so why give Him empty prayers? Just as His promises are filled with truth, love, intent so should our prayers be filled with belief, trust, and purpose. You can't do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. If you always pray in the bed yet nothing is happening try praying in the closet. If you only read your Bible on Sundays try reading it multiple days during the week. If you pray the same prayer every night try switching it up by praying in the spirit allowing God to have full control over what flows out of your mouth. Don't give up on your prayers keep fighting and keep pushing towards Christ and eventually you'll feel His power transfer into you.
