Dear friend, I don’t know what you are dealing with in your life, but all of us face problems that we are powerless to solve. 

Sickness. Heartaches. Loneliness. Addictions. Poverty. Fear. Shame. No matter what problem you are facing, there is Someone who can help you. His name is Jesus Christ. Many people have turned to Him in time of need and received help.

Below are three true stories about people in Asia whom Jesus has helped. 

A Young Mother in Sri Lanka

Jaya worked in a small blood lab. She was happy to have a job to support herself and her son because her husband had left her. Although she was a Buddhist, Jaya enjoyed working for her Christian boss, Ana. They soon became good friends.

One day while working, Jaya suddenly felt an intense pain. She screamed with terror as she noticed blood and three long cuts on her forearm. Jaya could feel the presence of evil spirits in the room.

Hearing her cry, Ana came running. She saw the fear on Jaya’s pale face as Jaya explained what had happened. Ana responded, “Jaya, my God has power to command these evil spirits to leave. Let’s pray now.” As Ana prayed, Jaya felt peace flood over her. The spirits were gone.

“I was shocked how quickly the prayer worked,” Jaya says, “and I want to know more about the Jesus my boss prayed to. Obviously, He hears and answers prayers!”

A Businesswoman in Bangkok

Sucheen was a successful businesswoman in Bangkok who was quickly being promoted in her company. But not all was well. She and her boyfriend, whom she had thought she would marry, had just parted. Now, she was alone and brokenhearted. 

Weeks passed and the world felt dark. Sucheen began to notice that the news was constantly describing horrible tragedies. Even song lyrics and movies focused on life’s disasters. A mastermind must be behind these calamities, she concluded. But what about the good in the world? Was there a being behind it? She didn’t know.

One night, Sucheen awoke, aware of a presence in her room. At first she thought she was dreaming, but she looked again and saw someone standing at the foot of her bed. Surprisingly, she wasn’t afraid. She looked into the kind face and knew that this Being was good. Reassured, she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

The next day, Sucheen thought about her night visitor and grew convinced that the Being she saw was Jesus. She felt that He knew her desperation and had come to help her. Wondering where to learn more about Him, she had a strong impression to go to a Christian church. As she studied the Bible there, she learned about Jesus and how to seek Him. Sucheen knew she never needed to be alone again.

A Desperate Father in Malaysia

Cheng twisted uncomfortably in the seat of his car where he had spent the last few nights sleeping. He would rather be by his son’s side in the hospital, but the intensive care unit only allowed one parent in the room overnight. 

Why did his young son have a life-threatening heart condition? What if he died? He couldn’t bear to think about life without his only child! Tears streamed down Cheng’s face. He felt so helpless. Prayers to ancestors and visits to temples had brought no answers. Now, the surgeons said the heart condition of his son could not be repaired, even with surgery.   

Glancing at the seat next to him, Cheng’s eyes rested on a small leaflet that a Christian had handed him a few days earlier. Without really thinking, Cheng flipped on a light and began to read. The little flyer talked about a God who created this world—One who loves us and longs for us to take our needs to Him.

Cheng thought about what he had read. He was helpless. Could this God help? “God, if You really are there, I ask that You do just one thing. Please heal my son! If You do, You will be my God, and I will follow You.” 

The next morning, Cheng entered his son’s hospital ward. Doctors and nurses were buzzing around his son’s bed. They were smiling and excitedly looking over the charts. The boy was healed!

It’s Your Turn Now

Are you struggling with work or school? Are you having conflicts with people near you? Are you sick or afraid? Are you lonely? Are you powerless over an addiction or weakness in your life? 

Jesus can help you!

He says, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). 

You may not fully understand who Jesus is. You may wonder if He is real. But you can be sure that if you honestly want to know the truth and really desire help, Jesus will help you.

Simply pray, “Jesus, I want to believe that You are real and can help me. Please show me that You are real and help me with . . . (explain your difficulty here). I need a God like You right now.”

Jesus will surely help. And when He does, tell someone else about Him!
