—James 5:13-16

When we are part of the Church, we have the opportunity to share our burdens with others who then have the privilege and responsibility to uplift and pray with us. God did not mean for us to live out our lives outside of Biblical community. The author of James instructed Christians to seek the elders of our church when we are sick and need physical healing. The elders can anoint with oil and pray for the sick church members in the name of the Lord. This is another way the Church can lift each other up while trusting God for the healing.
