Luke 13: 10-17 has been my heart's prayer and confidence these past many months. I see a very close relation between Aprille's difficulties and the woman with the infirmity in the Scripture. I claim Luke 13:13 for Aprille because these two ladies serve the same Lord and Jesus loves both of them and Jesus hears the prayers of His own.
"Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him. (Luke 13:10-17 RSV)
Father, I Praise You for you are worthy of my praise. I praise you for the work you are accomplishing in and through Aprille. Be glorified! Be glorified! Amen.

He is worthy indeed of our advance praise. I pray that as you humble yourselves before the Lord, the healing will come and will be all glory to His name. Amen.
