"...and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him" (James 5:15).
What kind of prayer heals? Prayer that is offered in faith heals the sick. "Faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see" (Hebrews 11:1, NLT). To pray in faith is to ask God to do something, believing (more than doubting), that it really is going to happen. God loves these kinds of prayers--they please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
There is no doubt that today you will encounter someone who is sick. It may be a headache...or something more serious. Would you be willing to put yourself out there and pray a bold and loving prayer for healing? These kinds of prayers take practice. To the best of your faith (and God's ability)--confidently ask and believe that God will heal the person you are praying for. Keep trying and keep practicing...all day long. If you are willing, then God will bring some very special people your way today.
