THE PRAYER OF FAITH

"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. . ." (James 5:15).

Many, many times people have prayed for physical healing that did not come. Any hospital chaplain will tell you about the testimonies shared with them of people who have been able to cope with the stress of illness because of prayer. What kept them going despite difficult circumstances? Prayer!

Many will testify that prayer has changed the course of an illness, but many more will testify that prayer has changed how they viewed their illness or their situation. It is in changing the view of a situation or an illness that changes false beliefs and helps a person develop true ones. It is the truth that brings freedom and health.

The change in my perspective as a result of prayer has blessed me at significant moments in my life.

Grace&Peace;
