“Your Faith Has Made You Well”

We thank you, Lord, that sometimes our trust in you leads to a kind of wholeness and restoration that we and others can see.

But we also thank you, Lord, that sometimes our ability to trust in you regardless of our outward circumstances is in and of itself a very important kind of wholeness and restoration, even if the wholeness and restoration is in inward places that you—and maybe we—can see.

Thank you for the wholeness and restoration, be it the temporary physical kind or the permanent spiritual kind, that come to us when we put our trust in you.

Amen.

“Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well.” (Matthew 9:22)
