As we turn our attention to Matthew 9:18-34 this Sunday, take special note of the desperation that each of the people who approached Jesus was experiencing. While each of their situations were different, they all recognized their need and ran to Jesus. Join with your church family as we seek the Lord together in prayer. We can be confident that when we genuinely humble ourselves before God and seek Him, He will not leave us to ourselves, but will give us grace.
