Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth knows so many of us have been praying about a difficult situation for years.

And sometimes what we think we need is for the pressure to be off, for the problem to be solved, for there to be no more difficulty.

But God may know that what we really need is to experience his grace and his wholeness in our lives in the midst

of the problem or the difficulty.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wallamuth, co-author of Seeking Him.

For Tuesday, August 5th, I'm Dana Gresh.

Yesterday, Nancy began a series called His Healing Touch.

And if you've been struggling with an unmeant need for a long time, I pray you'll get amazing

It's always a joy for me to hear from women who have been set free by the power of God's

truth. And I rejoice when I receive letters like these, a woman who said, God set me free

from hatred I've had in my heart since I was nine years old, I'm 40 now, he set me free.

From 9 to 40, that's a long time to live with hatred in your heart.

But aren't you glad that we have a God who, whether at 9 or 40, can get us to the truth?

His name is Jesus and can set us free.

Well, we're talking about a woman this week who had a long-term issue. It was a physical issue, but it had affected her in her relationships,

emotionally. She had lost hope. And she's not unlike many of us in this room, perhaps,

and those that we know and love who have lived with perhaps a chronic physical illness that affects us then in realms of our spirit and our

emotions, because you can't separate all that. If you feel sick for 12 years, that's going to affect

you in your emotions and in your relationship with the Lord and with others.

But then there are others of us who, maybe it's not been a chronic physical illness,

but it's been a chronic heart illness, a sin issue, an issue of bitterness or unforgiveness or anger
