Pray Together for the Sick

by Pastor Ken and Joyverse

James 5:13-15

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises. Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

The power of prayer is limitless.

Our all-knowing, all-powerful Creator God can do anything, anytime, and anywhere.

God wants you to know and believe that. He wants to restore, heal, and let you and your loved ones experience His miraculous power.

Your life itself can be considered a miracle because of the sinful world we live in. It is a world where things happen: accidents, diseases, crimes, market crashes, and other formidable problems. But nothing is too strong for God. Whatever situation you face, God has a solution that offers hope and power through Him.

This does not mean that every prayer for healing will be answered in the way we want. If that were true, no believer would ever experience pain, sickness, divorce, or death. We would have no reason to want to go home to heaven. Our Earth would be enough.

Yet, in the midst of the misery of our fallen world, God hears our cries. Our prayers reach His ears. Our words of repentance, of pleading, and of hope move His heart. Though He may not always answer every prayer as we think He should, He always stands ready to forgive and to bless us with His unending love.


Reflection

What miracles in my life will I start praying for today?


Prayer

Dear God, Please heal me from the sickness of sin and bad habits in my life. Move me to live up to my full potential — to live the life You have designed for me. May my life glorify You. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
