When You Can't Get to Jesus on Your Own

Have you experienced a crisis or tragedy that knocked you to your knees without words to pray? Have you desperately needed Jesus but felt like you couldn’t get to him on your own? I have. 

My husband, James, and I were in a crippling crisis a few years ago. News from a child rocked our world and wrecked our hearts. Overwhelmed by fear and grief, we imagined their challenging future and our immediate disqualification from ways we delight in serving our church. We were convinced we’d be fired as a deacon couple and as life group teachers to the most treasured young couples and families. I was convinced my ministry to women was over. 

Prayer is one of my favorite teaching topics, and I felt helpless to get to Jesus.

I hope what I learned from the four friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus in Mark 2:1-5 encourages you to have and be what I call a four-corner warrior. Click here to read more Articles | Champion Forest Baptist Church, Houston, TX.
