And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Luke 8:43-48 NIV

This poor woman had bleeding issues for twelve years, had spent all her money, and yet no one had been able to at all heal her. She hears about Jesus, and crowds in around Him, believing that only if she could touch His garment she would be healed. She could be healed without even troubling Him. What amazing faith she must have had. How is your faith? Are you like this woman, or do doubts plague you? Remember that Jesus told what power that faith even the size of a mustard seed can produce. Do not let your faith in Christ crumble. Know that He is always with you and will provide according to your needs.
