James 5 : 9-16
KJV


9 Grudge not one against another, brethren,
lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets,
who have spoken in the name of the Lord,
for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job,
and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,
and of tender mercy.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not,
neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath:
but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13 Is any among you afflicted?
let him pray. Is any merry?
let him sing psalms.
14 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:
15 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.
16 Confess your faults one to another,
and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

In quietness we come to you and ask you for your Spirit.
We ask this especially for the time of waiting still required
of us as we hope and strive for light to come into all hearts,
for light to shine where there is so much death.
We must not despair of our inner life even when life around
us rages as if it would suck us down into its
whirlpool with no way out.
But you will guard us.
Watch over us, we pray, also in hours of temptation,
so that we may remain under your care.
Watch over us so that we have hope and joy in you,
assured that your goal for us all is true life from above,
a life of resurrection.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
