Are
Any Of You
Suffering
Hardships?
You
Should Pray.
Scripture
James
5
13 Are
any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you
happy? You should sing praises.
14 Are
any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come
and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Such
a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make
you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 Confess
your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be
healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and
produces wonderful results.
17 Elijah
was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain
would fall, none fell for three and a half years!
Observation
Kathy
and I just watched the movie, “Breakthrough”!
If you haven't
watched it yet I would recommend it! What an amazing story about how
God answered a mother's prayer for her son who had fallen through the
ice on a lake in St Louis, Missouri. He was underwater for 15
minutes and another 45 minutes with no pulse. His Mom walks in the
hospital room to see her son and prays for him and suddenly he had a
pulse. All the doctors said it was a miracle!
I
love it. We serve a mighty God!
No,
God doesn't always heal when we pray in the way we ask. There are
times when His response to our prayers is not going to be the visible
miraculous answer like this mother received.
But
we should always ask BIG …
“Are
any of you suffering hardships? You should pray.”
Application
I
am asking BIG! I serve a mighty God!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know the power of prayer. I am alive today because people
prayed for me. I realize that You are constantly at work in the lives
of every person that I am praying for. Miracles are happening all
around me and most of them I don't even realize that they are
happening. Sick physical bodies and sick spiritual hearts are being
healed and transformed and restored all around me every day.
Lord,
some of the people that read this blog are an answer to my prayers.
Thank You for always hearing us. Thank You for never giving up on us.
You are an awesome God.
I
pray for those who have been praying and praying for a loved one to
be healed and for a loved one to be saved. Bless them, Lord. May Your
face on them with favor. Show them that they can trust that You are
work even when they don't see an answer to their prayers.
