Have you ever felt like you were bothering God by bringing the same need to Him again?

In Part 2 of “3 Points of View,” Pastor Ben Smith explores the story of Jairus in Mark 5—a father whose hope is tested by an unexpected delay and devastating news. When others tell him there’s no reason to trouble Jesus any further, Jesus calls him to keep believing.

This message confronts the fear and discouragement that can convince us to stop praying. Through Scripture’s picture of a bruised reed and a fading flame, Pastor Smith reminds us of Jesus’ gentleness toward those who feel weak, wounded, or worn out. You don’t have to put your life together before coming to Him.

Whether you’re waiting for an answer or struggling to hold on to hope, this message invites you to keep praying, trust His compassion, and bring your burdens to Jesus.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, carrying painful memories, or supporting someone you love, this message encourages you to seek support, see yourself through the truth of God’s Word, and trust His faithfulness through every season. Bring your whole story to God—He cares about every part of you.
