When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.
MATTHEW 9:20-22 (MSG)
Just then a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years slipped in from behind and lightly touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, “If I can just put a finger on his robe, I’ll get well.” Jesus turned—caught her at it. Then he reassured her: “Courage, daughter. You took a risk of faith, and now you’re well.” The woman was well from then on.

PRAYER
Loving God, thank you for being accesible. Forgive us for looking for you in all the wrong places. I know that I can't earn access or your favor. I know that bettering myself won't make me more acceptable. I confess that I'm doing it all wrong and so I'm humbly turning to you, trusting that you'll make yourself known to me through Christ. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
