James 5:13-20
It can be awkward to talk about our faith, even among friends and loved ones. Yet when we step beyond those walls and talk openly and honestly about our fears, beliefs and even our sins, we often take our faith to a deeper, more meaningful level. Sharing our faith, even the ugly parts of it, connects us to others and helps grow our community and our own faith. We often assume that spiritual direction and counseling can come only from religious experts—ministers, priests, counselors—yet it’s clear from these verses that we are called to serve as spiritual directors for each other as well.
If you know someone who is struggling, take a deep breath and courageously ask that person if you can pray for him or her. Let that person know that you are available if he or she needs someone to talk to during their difficult time.
