Good morning John,
I had a really neat experience this morning.
When I was about 12 years old, I had a motorcycle wreck, and I broke the tip of my ring finger on my left hand and two of my toes. Ever since then , my fingernail has grown a little crooked, but otherwise has been fine. In the last year or so, it has started acting up, aching and feeling tender at times, and whenever I would bump it on something, it would throb with pain for several minutes. Well, this morning I was getting ready for work and making the bed, and I hit that finger on the back of the bed, and it started throbbing with pain. I asked Jesus if he would touch my finger and take the pain away and the achiness that I’d been having in the finger. As I was talking to the Lord and looking at my finger, the pain instantly disappeared! It was like the pain just “popped” right out of it, and it has felt just fine since then.
So then, I came into work and was doing some work in the lab, and when I started unscrewing a cap from a bottle, I remembered that I had also been having some pain in the muscle/tendon between my left thumb and forefinger (on the same hand as the finger that Jesus had just touched a little earlier). I could feel the pain and the weakness in my thumb that sometimes makes it difficult to grasp things tightly with that hand. So, I started praying again, and I thought, “Lord, you just touched my finger . I know you can do the same thing with my thumb if you want to.” And he did! I started bending my thumb back & forth, and grabbing objects on my bench, and there was no pain or discomfort, and the normal strength in my hand was there.

Very thankful for the way the Lord is encouraging us lately to believe in his power to heal. He has done so much for us, and he keeps doing it!
