Christians pray both in times of trouble and in times of joy. In times of trouble Christians often fall victims to self-pity, anger, or morbid introspection. James directed Christians to pray rather than surrender to these wrong responses.
Christians who face trouble often lose their awareness of the presence of God due to gloom. Christians who have elation tend to forget God in the joy of their good success. Both darkness and sunshine should lead believers to a consciousness of God.
Key Takeaways:
Pray in all of life’s situations, including sickness, confession of sin, seeking God’s will, and reclaiming wanderers.Just as happiness is to be shared with other believers in praises to God (v. 13), the practice of prayer for the sick must be shared as well.Both dark times and good times should lead believers to a consciousness of God.Disobedience to God can lead to sickness. This was David’s experience when he tried to hide his sins (Ps. 32). Remember, not every sickness is due to disobedience.For more information about this show, includes additional notes and details, please visit the show page here or visit our home page at SeekingourGod.com
