The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, twelve years of bleeding. Twelve years of being shut out and alone. She spent everything on doctors who could not help. But she pressed through the crowd to the hem of Your robe. You stopped. You turned. You asked who had touched You. She fell at Your feet and told the whole truth. You called her daughter. You sent her home in peace, healed. Lord, long suffering is hard. Twelve years is a long time to keep believing. Move the hurting in our day to reach for You the way she did. Her hand found what years of trying had not given. Touch them now. Call them daughter. Send them home in peace. Amen.
