But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me." And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace." (Luke 8:46-48 ESV)
On his way to heal Jairus' daughter, Jesus is touched by a woman who has such strong faith in Him that she is instantly healed from an ailment lasting 12 years. She did not have to ask, but only have faith in His healing powers.
We, too must have that same faith. The faith in God's word and His love and forgiveness of our sins. Just like the woman, all we need to do is reach out to Jesus with our ailments. We are not guaranteed an instant healing, but instead an everlasting life with Him in heaven.
