A Simple Prayer for Healing

From Allie:

I've only talked to this girl twice before praying for her, (she works in a different location) so I didn't know her extremely well, but we definitely connected as individuals when we would work together and she was very open with me about things. Through a few conversations at work, I found out that she had allergies to a lot of different things and sometimes her skin would flare up from head to toe. Well, one day I had walked in the store to pick up my paycheck and she happened to be working. It flared up like it never had before, from what she told me. It looked bad and it caused her some sort of discomfort. She literally was covered in red, swolen bumps from head to toe. I told her, "Well, this might sound crazy, but I believe Jesus could heal your skin. Would you be comfortable with me praying for you right now?" And just for the note, it took me a while to actually ask her this. I didn't look as confident as this story may depict:) To my surprise, she excitedly answered, "Yes! I'll take anything. Please!" She was eating it up! She totally loved it! I asked Jesus to heal her and relieve discomfort and I proclaimed his love for her. I hadn't heard anything afterwards because we had never exchanged any contact info, but she happened to be at our store while I was working a shift later on that month and she told me that her skin had totally cleared up the day after! Praise the Lord! He made her skin feel better:)

That's the story.
