“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? 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 shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:13-16) 

If you would like prayer, please enter your prayer request in the comment section at the bottom of this page. Remember, updates and praise reports enable us to pray not only “in the Spirit and with understanding,” they also allow us to rejoice with you in your victories and give thanks, praise and worship to the Lord Jesus – who meets every need and “who healeth all thy diseases!”
