If only I could touch the hem of his garment!!!!!

If I could only touch the hem of his garment!!!

Someone close to me underwent a medical procedure last week. Whenever sickness or anything out of the ordinary affects me or my immediate family I instill lots of prayer to get through. I am someone who strongly believes in God but gets very nervous when confronted with challenges. On this day, I was waiting outside when I started to feel overwhelmed. For some reason I needed to pray and pray often. So while waiting in the car outside I started to pray. I also kept falling asleep but would wake up on intervals. My body was sensing something out of the ordinary. I cannot describe it but whatever it was I needed to pray. I kept praying, speaking Gods word out loud and repeating the 23rd psalm in my head. I felt as though my prayers were not getting through. I wanted to get out of the car, stand outside and have a talk with Jesus. It's as though I needed to see and speak with him face to face. While feeling this way I imagined, if he was here , what would he say. So I found myself answering the question' so you need to see Jesus in order to believe. And of course he would answer " oh ye of little faith. I wanted to be like the lady in the Bible who touched the hem of his garment. She wanted to be healed and I wanted to be heard.
I wanted Jesus to come down and stand beside me. I needed him to take my hand and let me know that everything will be alright. When others are going through trials and adversity I have told them to just pray. Pray over your circumstance , pray over your children, pray over your loved ones. If  you want to see change then prayer is your best answer. Jesus prayed while he was here on earth and he told us to believe that our prayer will be answered because if you have the slightest doubt then your prayer is annulled. It just so happens that on this particular day I felt as though something was blocking my prayer from being heard. Through it all I did not give up and by evening time I felt much better. It's not that God does not hear us nor want to heal us but I am coming to the conclusion that there are forces in the spirit realm who tries to block our prayers from getting through. With this knowledge I encourage every believer to not lose focus. Never give up and to keep our mind on the prize which is everlasting life with Jesus Christ
