I. If you are suffering, pray.
II. If you are cheerful, sing.
III. If you are weak, pray.
Sick (astheneo) in James 5:14 refers to anyone who finds themselves needy, weak, weary, discouraged, physically ill, struggling with consistent sin, struggling to trust the Lord, or anxious. Including physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Physical healing is never guaranteed but always possible and can be given as a temporary gift.
But…
Spiritual healing is ALWAYS guaranteed in Jesus and is an eternal gift. For the weak, fainthearted, weary, and the lost.

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
