DAY 23

THE WOMAN WAS HEALED

Matthew 9:22

I have shed tear over a particular hurt in my life. Though it is not a recent wound, it reopens when I am most fragile. Like many women, I live the daily stress distract me from the pain, but eventually the heart and mind return to the source of anxiety. I always ask forgiveness from God for holding this sorrow within my soul, for thinking I could fix it on my own.

This wound never mended because I have never reached out in desperation to Him. I wanted control over my hurts and sometimes, I was ashamed to come to Him. But day by day, He gave me the chances to bring back the faith to Him like the dead girl and the sick woman. God heals for I am His daughter once and for all.
