Isaiah 53:5, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

James 5:14-15, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”

We are our brother’s keeper!

We need one another, we must uphold one another. We must strengthen one another.

We need to check in with one another. We must be a friend.

For some reason the enemy is trying to attack our bodies. He is on his job doing what he needs to do. Consequently, we as believers, must also be on our job. We must be sober and vigilant – watchmen on the wall. We must be willing to call people together for intercessory prayer. We must be diligent and pray for one another!

This week I received calls from across the country regarding people being admitted to hospitals. Many new Covid cases. Many sick with new strains of the flu. The list is extensive. But our God is a faithful healer.

As believers we must be willing to set our to-do list aside and make time to pray for our brother, in Jesus name.

So tonight, before you lay your head on your pillow to sleep, please take the time to sincerely pray for someone. Pray for those that are not in a position to pray for themselves. Pray for those that are weak.

Remember, your time of sickness will come too. You are going to need someone to pray for you. As they say, pay it forward.

Please join me in prayer.
