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. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up – James 5:14-15
From Dear Dad…
I wanted this to all be over. I sat at my desk twirling a pencil around, trying to figure out how to make sense of everything. No one else was in the office yet. I was extremely grateful. I was going to talk to my friend Jammie.
Maybe she would help me make sense of everything. Then I saw her e-mail:
“I was reading this morning and came across these scriptures and wanted to share it with you:
“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. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up“ – James 5:14-15
“I love you and hope that you can meditate on these, and maybe they will help you want to seek help from our church family.”
Seek help from our church family? I had no idea what she was talking about. They had dragged her into all of this, too.
