I just love when you read something you have heard hundreds of times in your life but at certain times in your life or different talks you learn something new, or think of it differently. 

When I hear or read about Jesus healing I always think of physical sickness and disease.  I have never thought of the emotional, mental or spiritual but he healed them all.  There are so many more afflictions than just physical ones.  When he called for the lame, blind and physical ailments he also invited those that were afflicted in any manner.  They brought forth all of them that were afflicted in any manner and Jesus did heal them every one.

It goes on to say that the Priesthood is given the power to heal all manner of sickness and disease.  What really got to me was then it said that the Savior could heal all  but those who hold the Priesthood authority are limited by the will of God.

Another good thought is that healing blessings will be suited to each individual.  "Sometimes a “healing” cures our illness or lifts our burden. But sometimes we are “healed” by being given strength or understanding or patience to bear the burdens placed upon us."
