How do you overcome emotional pain?
- James clues us into the answer.
James 5:13–16 (KJV) — 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.
What Afflicted Means
- The word ‘afflicted’ does not mean sickness in this verse.
- Some try to read disease and sickness into this word.
- But, the word doesn’t mean that.
- It means emotional pain.
- God has a remedy for emotional pain.
- That remedy is prayer.
- Is any afflicted let them pray.
- So, if you are experiencing emotional pain, counseling is not the answer.
- Parroting the story does get you closer to deliverance.
- Talk to God about what you are experiencing.
- He is your answer.
