Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity". And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. -- Luke 13:10-13
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? 18 Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” -- Luke 17:11-19
God heals at any time He wills.
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" -- Luke 13:14-16
Lord Jesus, you are my Divine Healer! Thank you so much for laying your hands upon me, setting me free from any form of infirmity.
In you, I can stand up straight to praise and glorify our Father in heaven. May Your hand be in everything that I do so that all things will be well for me. Keep me from the hands of men whose purpose is to prevent me from receiving your bountiful blessings and graces. I stand by your words in faith and nothing else.
You alone holds my time. Only You can make me think and move in accordance with Your will and plan. You have already gone to my tomorrow and what happens to me now or in the days to come, you have already seen. Please continue to make me live in the fullness of health as I await the glorious life in this world that You have already set for me.
With much love and thanksgiving, I give you back all the glory and praise. Amen.
