James: Handling the Hard Stuff of Life
I don’t know much but this one thing I know; God hears the prayers of His passionately praying people who believe HE has the answer and right help for them in His time. As a bonus, when we don’t have all the right words in the right order, His Holy Spirit steps in and, if allowed by us, edits our prayers in a language God understands. God ALWAYS knows and wants what is best for us. ALWAYS. But we must pray, believing He does know and care.
This simple passage packs a punch about praying that propels our hope, encourages more praying and causes us to stop and listen to what God communicates back to us. “Jesus will put you back on your feet” has enormous meaning for me right now at this time in my life. I also have a dear friend/relative who needs to be put back on their feet, too. And I’m praying…BELIEVING…all will happen according to God’s will and timing. Praise God from Whom all blessings, healing, provision, protection and most all salvation flows…right from the heart of God to us!
Let’s get to it…
James 5, The Message
13-15 Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you’ve sinned, you’ll be forgiven—healed inside and out.
What do we learn?
–Pray, believing.
–Sing, with gratitude.
–Need a Savior, pray and be healed from the inside out.
Hallelujah!

Dear Heavenly Father, We love talking to you before the sun comes up every morning and a new day begins. Thank you for telling James to write this Truth about Who you are and what you want to do in us and for us. We thank you, thank you, thank you for salvation, provision, protection and healing of all kinds. We also praise you for so many blessings that we do not have the ability to recall and count. Thank you for giving your best to us. Thank you for…forgiving.
In Jesus Name, Amen
