Are you feeling under the weather tonight? Has the pressure of the day given you a nagging headache, did overexertion give you a few strained muscles, or has a modern-day flu bug left you feeling like you might never drag yourself out of your sickbed? Everyone has days where they wind up feeling way below par.

So many Christians fall to their knees immediately when they have been diagnosed with some major disease, undergoing life-threatening surgery, or have suffered bodily injury. They don't hesitate to call to the Lord for healing and grace in these times. Yet, many hesitate to "bother the Lord" with the trifling, run-of-the-mill illnesses that can nag at them.

What a shame to miss out on blessings from the Lord in this situation! The Lord wants us to bring Him all our problems, and He wants to heal all our infirmities, just as He did for His followers in Capernaum:

When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, Peter's mother-in-law was in bed with a high fever. But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her; and she got up and prepared a meal for them (Matthew 8:14-16, TLB).

Bring your little illnesses to the Lord tonight, and He will be faithful to give you comfort and healing. Even if you are using medicines or following doctor's advice, you can still use the touch of the great Healer.

Father, I ask You to heal my little illnesses tonight. Thank you for the stripes of Your Son that bought my healing of every infirmity. Thank You for Your healing touch. I rest in Your loving arms. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
