He answered them, The Man Who healed me and gave me back my strength, He Himself said to me, Pick up your bed and walk”! John 5:11 (AMP)

We all need a helping hand at times, someone to reach down to where we are and pick us up—to help carry the load when the days have left us weary, worn out, or weak at the knees. Into all of our lives comes this “Man” Christ Jesus, Who empowers us with His strength; fills the broken places with His wholeness; washes away the stresses and strife, making way for a new beginning day, and if needed, a whole new life.
 
Strengthened and renewed, in the bonds of His love, we are able to begin again. The gift of His presence always by our side. It may be a simple tender and tentative step to start, but once you put your hand in His, cherished one, you are on your way to wonder unfolding in a brand new and life-giving way.
 
Let this Man, Christ Jesus your Saviour and Lord, walk with you now, moment by mercy-filled moment, as He so longs to do. He will never leave you or forsake you, of that you can be sure. His words will be life, bringing healing, hope, and wholeness, as He faithfully, triumphantly, leads and guides you, all your days through!

​Prayer:
 
Jesus, I thank You for this precious promise and the assurance that I have in You. Where I am weak, I know that You are strong. Where I am weary and worn, You have promised to renew.
 
Come today dearest Lord, as I put my hand in Yours. Come and restore the broken places, put back the broken pieces, and make all things new.
 
I need You today Yeshua. I need Your saving grace, Your healing touch, and Your deliverance too.
 
In Your Mighty and Holy Name, I pray.
