I call you by your name,
I name you, though you do not know me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other,
besides me there is no God;
I equip you, though you do not know me,
that people may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is none besides me;
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I form light and create darkness;
I make well-being and create calamity;
I am the Lord, who does all these things.
Isaiah 45:4b-7, ESV
Dear mom, be healed by your faith, trusting that He does see and hear your desperate cries for peace.
Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you, just as He says in His Word.
And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,
and who had suffered much under many physicians,
and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.
She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.
For she said,
“If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”
And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.
And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said,
“Who touched my garments?”
And his disciples said to him,
“You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
And he looked around to see who had done it.
But the woman, knowing what had happened to her,
came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
And he said to her,
“Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
Mark 5:25-34, ESV
