Day 01

Twelve Years, and Worse

“Had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse.”

Mark 5:26

Reflection

Twelve years, every specialist, all the money, and the condition still advancing. Chronic illness carries a second weight on top of the first: the exhaustion of having tried everything already.

Pray

God, I am tired of explaining this, tired of trying again, and tired of hoping carefully. Meet me in the twelfth year, not just at the beginning when I still had energy for it.

Amen.

Declare

Being tired of hoping does not mean I have failed at faith.

Today’s practice

Name the part of this that is exhaustion rather than illness. Tell one person that specific thing today.
