What comes to mind when you hear the word “stop”?
For many, this word brings to mind an image of a red traffic light, a sudden pause in motion, or even a moment where everything in life seems to come to a standstill. Yet, in the Bible, “stop” often carries a much deeper meaning—it speaks of divine intervention, moments where pain, loss, and despair are brought to an end by the power of God.
In the Gospel of Luke, we read about a grieving mother who had lost her only son. Her life had been marked by pain and loss, and now, following his death, it seemed that her suffering could not get any worse. Yet, when Jesus saw her, everything changed:
“When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, ‘Young man, I say to you, arise.’ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.” (Luke 7:13–15)
With just a word, Jesus stopped her grief. He stopped the funeral procession. He stopped the pain that had defined her life. By bringing her son back, He gave her not only a miracle, but also the hope and restoration she thought she had lost forever.
This is more than a story of compassion—it is a powerful reminder that when God steps in, suffering does not have the final say. Just as Jesus stopped the anguish in that woman’s life, He can also bring an end to the struggles you may be facing today, particularly in your finances.
Perhaps you feel like that woman—your life has come to a stop because of financial difficulties. You may be weighed down by debts, unable to meet monthly expenses, or struggling to care for your family. Plans for the future feel impossible, and even simple day-to-day decisions can feel overwhelming.
Just as Jesus spoke a word and life moved forward for the grieving mother, He can also intervene in your situation. God can stop the cycle of financial struggle, restore what has been lost, and open doors where there seemed to be none. He can bring clarity to confusion, relief to stress, and a renewed sense of hope. Even when life feels frozen by financial pressures, God has the power to restart your journey.
