Introduction
Jesus heals the daughter of a Jewish official and a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years.

Scripture Reading
Matthew 9:18-38
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 9:36
As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Pray
Lord Jesus, you are the Great Physician and Shepherd. Heal my wounds, both physical and spiritual, and be present with all who need your healing today. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
