3. Take Heart
"Take heart" is an idiom that means “become confident or courageous during a difficult situation.”
To the paralytic brought to him, Jesus said, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
To the woman with the chronic bleeding who touched Jesus, he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has healed you.”
You may know someone in a difficult situation. Bring him to Jesus. Encourage her to reach out and touch him.
Pray. Invite others to join you. Do your part. Jesus is always doing his.
Let’s be children of God who pray with confidence and act with courage.
