She said, “Jesus, if You had been here sooner, my brother would not have died.”
Martha could have walked away in anger and bitterness, which would be the end of the story.
But she added, “I know even now God will give You whatever You ask.”
She was saying, “It seems impossible, but I know You have the final say.”

Start believing again right where you gave up.
Get your passion back.
It may have been dead, but that wasn’t the final word.
God has the final say—freedom, wholeness, abundance, victory.
