Gut-Wrenching Prayer

Jesus, teaching on the Sabbath,

Saw a woman, bent for eighteen years.

“Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”

And she straightened up and praised God.


When those around said, 

“Let her come on one of the other days,”

Jesus replied:

You hypocrites! You care for your animals every day!


Then should not this woman,

A daughter of Abraham, 

Whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, 

Be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”


God in heaven, my friend

Has been bound with infertility

For thirteen years or so.

This day, set her free from her infirmity.”
