Devotion- Mysterious Power

 

James 5: 13-20 Epistle Lesson for  Sunday September 26th As a concluding benediction To an instructive letter James mentions prayer Seven times in these verses   He reminds us of the mysterious power That praying or being prayed for has It is not wishful thinking or just a polite thought But truly leaning into the promises of God   While we do not have control Over how and when prayer is answered It invites the deepest part of our deepest self To simply surrender and trust   Moments of suffering deplete us Moments of rejoicing refill us Whether captured by joy or sorrow Prayer is a resource for all seasons   We use prayer confidently knowing that God will be our truest companion Certified by a cross, we can trust that This is a promise God gracefully keeps   So we pray for others And allow them to pray for us Drawing strength enough from God’s love   To faithfully place ourselves in God’s hands+ A Devotion By Rev. Donald Schaefer, Northern Region Facilitator for Mission Engagement
