LORD, MAKE ME A WOMAN OF FAITH--NOW FIATH IS BEING SURE OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND CERTAIN OF WHAT WE DO NOT SEE.--HEBREWS 11:1 NIV---WHEN A SUFFERING WOMAN ONCE SOUGHT HEALING BY SIMPLY TOUCHING THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT, JESUS TURNED AND SAID, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD COMFORT; THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE (MATTHEW 9:22 KJV). WE, TOO, CAN BE MADE WHOLE WHEN WE PLACE OUR FAITH COMPLETELY AND UNWAVERINGLY IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST. CONCERTRATION CAMP SURVIVOR CORRIE TEN BOOM RELIED ON FITH DURING HER TEN MONTHS OF IMPRINSONMENT AND TORTURE. LATER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT FOUR OF HER FAMILY MEMBERS HAD DIED IN NAZI DEATH CAMPS, CORRIES FAITH WAS UNSHAKEN. SHE WROTE, THERE IS NO PIT SO DEEP THAT GODS LOVE IS NOT DEEPER STILL. CHRISTIANS TAKE NOTE: GENUINE FAITH IN GOD MEANS FIATH IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, HAPPY OR SAD, JOFUL OR TRAGIC. IF YOUR FAITH IS BEING TESTED TO THE POINT OF BREAKING, KNOW THAT YOUR SAVIOR IS NEAR. IF YOU REACH OUT TO HIM IN FITH, HE WIL GIVE YOU PEACE AND HEAL YOUR BROKEN SPIRIT. BE CONTENT TO TOUCH EVEN THE SMALLEST FRAGMENT OF THE MASTERS GARMENT, AND HE WILL MAKE YOU WHOLE. FAITH IS AN ACTIVITY. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE APPLIED. FAITH IS NOT A FEELING; IT IS ACTION. IT IS A WILLED CHOICE. THIS LIFE OF FAITH, THEN, CONSISTS IN JUST THIS--- BEING A CHILD IN THE FAITHER HOUSE. LET THE WAYS OF CHILDISH CONFIDENCE AND FREESOM FROM CARE, WHICH SO PLEASE YOU AND WIN YOUR HEART WHEN YOU OBSERVE YOUR OWN LITTLE ONES, TEACH YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD BE IN YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD GOD. IF YOU DO NOT STAND FIRM IN YOUR FAITH, YOU WILLNOT STAND AT ALL.---ISAIAH 7:9 NIV A PRAYER---DEAR GOD, SOMETIMES THIS WORLD CAN BE A FEARFUL PLACE, FULLOF UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT. IN THOSE DARK MOMENTS, HELP ME TO REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS NEAR AND THAT YOU CAN OVERCOME ANY CHALLENGE. GIVE ME FAITH AND LET ME REMEMBER ALWYS THAT YOUR LOVE AND YOUR POWER, I CAN LIVE COURAGEOUSLY AND FAITHFULLY TODAY AND EVERY DAY.--AMEN
