God has a simple message for you today: Every hero of faith faced real struggles.

David stumbled into adultery. Samson wrestled with lust and compromise. Noah fell into drunkenness after the flood.

Yet Scripture affirms that they died in faith. Their stories remind us that being a Christian does not mean a life without failure or pain, it means walking with God in a broken world and learning to trust Him through weakness as well as strength.

Faith is not the absence of struggle. Faith is choosing God in the midst of it.

Consider the woman with the issue of blood. For years she suffered not only from her condition, but from those who were supposed to help her. She spent everything she had and grew worse instead of better. There is a profound difference between having a problem and suffering at the hands of those meant to solve it.

Her story teaches us to be discerning about where we seek healing. Not every voice that promises help can restore the soul. Not every solution leads to wholeness.

When she finally reached Jesus, everything changed. Just one touch at the hem of His garment, brought healing she could not find anywhere else (see the Gospel of Mark 5:25–34).

If you desire true restoration, go to the One who can give it.

Go to Jesus your Problem-Solver, Direction-Giver, Burden-Bearer, and Way-Maker. One touch from Him brings wholeness where striving never could. One encounter with Him restores what years of pain tried to steal.

You are not disqualified by your struggle. You are not forgotten in your waiting. You are not beyond healing.

Reach for Him. Trust Him. And be made whole.

God bless.
