Matthew 9:18-19 - And while he was saying these things, look, a ruler came and knelt before him saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will be saved." And Jesus followed him with his disciples.
Two things: Jesus is willing to help all who ask. We might think we are unworthy, but Jesus does not. Case in point: the ruler here is the oppressor of the Jewish people. Yet, Jesus treats him better than the Pharisees and the scribes. Because the ruler is willing to be humble, to see that although he rules over these people, Jesus has something that he does not - the power to bring his daughter back to life. Thus he kneels before him. He recognizes that he is unworthy. The Pharisees and scribes are not able or willing to do so.
Today, I too am willing to kneel before Jesus and ask for healing, knowing I am worthy.
