March 15: Mark 5:34

"He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.", Mark 5:34, NIV

Oh, us of little faith... it is true. We get so caught up in what we think is essential-- what we see as important and we base our prayers around that. Typically, our prayers contain more requests for help-- it's often about our own suffering and less about our faith and thankfulness that God is in control. We forget to praise God in times of suffering because it's all about us... and that is human-- I believe He expects that of us. But, if we could see past that humanity for a moment and see the bigger picture, we would know that our suffering will not last forever. That is so hard for these human eyes to see. Our faith in His power and control over our lives is truly all we need. We can be free from suffering when we give it over to Him in full belief that He will release us from it.
