2026/03/31

Tears, regret, and long nights can make it feel like you’re sliding into a pit with no way out. I walk through Psalm 30 with you as a song of praise that tells the truth about suffering and still refuses to give up on joy, showing the God who heals, delivers, and restores life in the darkest places. I look back at the women we’ve been studying and the ways God keeps meeting people who feel unseen or stuck: the hunched woman in Luke 13, Hagar, the bleeding woman, Leah, and Elizabeth. The thre...

In Luke 1:5–80, we meet Elizabeth, who has long since given up hope of bearing a child. She and Zechariah are too old for their prayer to be answered. And in a culture where women were valued based on the number of sons they produced, Elizabeth feels the sting of shame. But God looks upon her and removes her disgrace. He gives her a child in her old age, who is not only the answer to her prayer, but also the answer to the prayers of all who are awaiting the Messiah. Elizabeth's story i...

The story of the bleeding woman reveals Jesus' heart to heal not just our bodies, but our hearts and souls. After twelve years of suffering and isolation, an unnamed woman risks everything to touch Jesus' garment.
