"Daughter your faith has healed you..."

As a woman, having great friends is a true blessing. Sisterhood is not just from bloodlines alone.
This unique bond brings with it the chance for unconditional acceptance.

I have some great friends. They can even get away with things that Sid can't, like telling me that an outfit is not flattering to my figure, maybe this is not my best haircut, or I must be hormonal. Sometimes they know me so well, Sid calls them to find out what my schedule was and where I might be! We have great times watching movies, cooking, talking on the phone, and shopping. We share recipes, household tips, and trade childcare.

Sometimes, our friends need us to walk with them and sometimes they need us to carry them.
We need to take the needs of our great friends to Jesus with the faith the woman in Luke 8:43-48 showed. Her faith was so strong she knew she just needed to touch Jesus' robe. She didn't need fancy words, or a certain status level, just to touch Jesus.


Father, I have some sisters in need.
Please invade their lives with your healing.
Bring them peace and joy.
Remove all doubts and confusion.
Restore them to the beautiful creation you
intended them to be.
I give you all the glory for what you are going to do.
Thank you for the wonderful friends you have blessed me with.
Amen
"Then He said to her, 'Daughter your faith has healed you. Go in peace' "
