Short prayer for a sick friend12/26/2023 ![]() ![]() To be sure, the healing here may be physical, but the ailment is connected to a moral infirmity: the remedy is clearly the confession of sins. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.Ĭonfess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. Because if the sick person has committed sins these will be forgiven.Įven the phrase “the Lord shall rise him up” can be taken in a spiritual light as this is the same term used to describe resurrection.Īnd the spiritual focus on confession and the restoration of sinners continues in the very next verse: The prayer of faith with “save” the sick. Looking at the whole context you could plausibly make the case that the prayers of the elders described here are focused upon spiritual healing. Is any among you sick? 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: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. So here is a more literal reading of the same passage from the ASV including the entirety of 5:15: The literal word is “save,” the word that is typically used to describe God saving us from sin. That confessional context pushes back on how the NIV translates the word “well” in 5:15. In light of those issues, what recently struck me about this text is the moral and confessional context of the entire passage. The prayer wasn’t answered because we didn’t have enough faith. Adding to the problem, in the face of those unanswered prayers, we wonder if the prayer wasn’t offered “in faith.” Maybe, then, it was our fault. ![]() The promise of healing described here - “the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well” - collides with the reality we face in praying for sick people who regularly aren’t healed. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well the Lord will raise them up. Is anyone among you sick?
