“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.”
James 5:14-15
With the onset of quarantine back in March, physical health has been at the forefront of many of our minds (and rightfully so, due to the nature of COVID19). Unfortunately, as a side effect to some of that extended isolation and society’s increased attention to media, there has been a toll taken on culture’s mental health as well.
The Bible tells us that a “prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well.” In the same way that we’re praying for healing over physical health, let us commit to pray for mental health with the same level of passion, fervency, and faith. Let us believe on behalf our fellow Christians, our families, our friends, and even ourselves that God can and will bring healing!
