The scripture from James 5:14-15 emphasizes the healing power of faith, prayer, and anointing oil, stating that sickness, even those caused by sin, can be healed through prayer. The individual reflects on never noticing the scripture's mention of forgiveness for sin-induced sickness and prays for a friend's healing and forgiveness.
He will Answer
Ever since I allowed my children to have cell phones, I have had an expectation that they will answer when I call. This has allowed me to feel more secure when they were out with friends.
