I don't have to carry sickness alone. I can ask for prayer.

A Bible affirmation for healing, rooted in James 5:15.

And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

James 5:15 · BSB

Reflection

James tells the sick to call the church elders to pray over them. Healing in Scripture is often shared: someone sits beside you and prays. Asking for prayer isn't weakness. It's how the church was meant to work.

A prayer

Lord, give me the courage to ask others to pray for me. Raise up what feels weak.
