I thank you for citing the language of James 5:16. I am not as quick with Scripture as are many of my Reformed siblings.
In the same vein, I ask your prayers for my still quite precarious health. Last Thanksgiving, I suffered a near fatal kidney failure and was not expected to live. I went into coma on Thanksgiving and remained in coma until a few days before Christmas. I was given a printout of FR posts of people generously making my health the object of their prayers and I am convinced that those prayers were effective and that God has granted me a return to conscious life and to my home.
While you and I may differ on the details of our respective faiths, we no doubt agree on many of the essentials. Whether we agree on everything or not, I ask your prayers and those of everyone else of whatever faith for the continued progress of my health through the merits of Jesus Christ and in His name. Jesus Christ is my Lord And Savior as He is yours.
May God bless you and yours.
Prsyers offered for you sir.
