Words To Live By

James 5:13-16a KJV

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.


TODAY'S PROMISE
I have given you all the faith you'll ever need.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

I will not face any trouble, adversity or misfortune without prayer.

I continually sign songs of praise, rejoicing in what God has done in my life.

I have no need to fret over sickness, for even it it were to overwhelm me, I could call for the elders of the church and have them pray over me, anointing me with oil in the name of the Lord. I know that the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord shall raise them up. Therefore, if my faith is lacking I will simply go where faith is strong, for it is abundantly clear that God wants me well.

If I have stumbled in any way I do not need to fret over it--I can rest in full confidence that the Lord loves me and forgives all my shortcomings when I ask Him to.

I also know that if sin is a hindrance to my healing I can repent of it. I confess my sins to trusted brothers and sisters in Christ, gaining strength and praying in agreement with them so that I will be healed.
