Mark 5:34

He said to her,
"Daughter, your faith has healed you.
Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."


Heavenly Father,

I have had a bad toothache for most of today,
I didn't take medication, instead I chose to kneel and pray.

My toothache lingered and started to become much worse,
As the pain increased my focus changed and I felt it was a curse.

I sat and pondered on my thoughts to see what was going on,
And I heard in my head, "the pain is too great, this is wrong".

I started to realise that through the pain my faith started to shake,
And my mind was trying to convince me to give up for my own sake.

I knew that if I gave up now never would I believe it to be true,
That having faith in Jesus will heal me and make me anew.

I fell to my knees and cried to Jesus to please soothe my soul,
And remove the pain that is trying to deceive me and takes it's toll.

I held the Bible close to my heart and again started to pray,
Next thing I felt a blanket of love engulf me and the pain went away.

I pray that I never lose faith and always hold true to you,
As no matter how great my pain, you will always see me through.

God Bless,
Gina
