The Prayer of Faith

Last night, we had visitors.

Several visitors, in fact.
Welcomed visitors.
And oh, we were so thankful for these visitors.

Our church pastor and the church elders came last night.

We talked about our adoption...
How it began.
Where we are now.
When we travel.
Any concerns.
And safety.

And after we had talked for a few minutes, the elders and our pastor joined around my husband and I.

They laid their hands on us...and each one prayed over us, one at a time.
They prayed for our adoption.
And our travel safety.
And our little boy.
And our two girls.

And, oh, do I feel so much better.
I feel peace...and calm...and I can remember that this is in His hands.
He's got this.
And there is no one else I'd rather have this.

James 5....
¹³ Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
