"We often believe that healing should be instant and painless, as if true healing is only real if it happens quickly and without struggle."

We often believe that healing should be instant and painless, as if true healing is only real if it happens quickly and without struggle. However, the Bible reminds us in James chapter five, verse sixteen: "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." This verse means that it's good to tell someone you trust when you've done something wrong and to pray for each other because it helps you feel better and closer to God. It also says that when a good person prays, it can make a big difference. Start your day with a thought provoking twist on faith!
