Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.James. 5:13-14
This text shows us that life involves numerous emotional states and that God desires for us to involve Him in whichever feeling we are experiencing.
The response to our every season of life should include God - celebration or sorrow. This passage also communicates that followers of Jesus should involve others in their lives and experiences. In another place, Scripture says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep” (Rom. 12:15). Let this principle of availability serve as a reminder to know your people but also to be known by your people.
Reflect + Apply:
It can be easy to just say the words, “I’ll be praying for you.” Break that habit today by actually texting a friend a prayer over a circumstance or situation that they are in, especially if they are believing for physical healing.
Prayer
Pray for the healing touch of God today, either for yourself or for someone you know is hurting. Ask that God would bolster your faith by His powerful mercy.
