Read Read James 5:13-20 The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. - James 5:16 (NRSV) Todays Devotional Last year was a period of trials and tribulations for my family and me. Even though I maintain a healthy lifestyle, I began to notice some negative changes in my health. My wife and daughter urged me to see our family physician and seek medical help. My doctor quickly diagnosed several problems: high levels of sugar, urea, and creatinine in my blood, and an enlarged heart. He informed me that these conditions could cause blindness, stroke, and heart attack at any time. Treatment began right away with medication and a very strict diet. But more importantly, I asked people to pray for me. My family, our friends, church members, and people from far away prayed for me. Indeed, my healing has become a powerful example of faith, even to friends of other faiths, including my physicians. Some even wrote letters to say, “Your faith has helped to increase our faith.” Praise the Lord! A praying Christian community is a worshiping community. When we pray together, we bring love, faith, hope, peace, and justice to the world. Komal Masih (Uttar Pradesh, India) Thought for the Day: Praying for one another is a powerful testimony of our faith. Prayer: Dear God, increase our faith and help us proclaim that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life we seek. Amen. Prayer Focus: People who pray for me
