What does this passage show me about God?
- Why does the woman approach Jesus secretly from behind, and why does Jesus insist she come forward and tell everything in front of the crowd?
What does it show me about people — and about myself?
- What do you bring to Jesus only in secret, hoping no one will find out?
What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)
- What secret shame will you tell Jesus the whole truth about this week?
Who will I tell?
- Who is treated as untouchable where you live, and how could you honor them publicly as Jesus did?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
Jesus, that woman had spent twelve years unclean, unseen, and unwanted — and you stopped the crowd to call her 'daughter' in front of everyone. Stop for me too, and heal what I only dare to bring to you in secret.
