Pastor Audrey Warren of First United Methodist Church of Miami takes on the book of James in her sermon series that’s all about leadership. This week ends the series with James 5: 13-20

“Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.” James 5:16

Confession is hard.
How do we confess and why?
Our tradition teaches us the confession is part of cleansing our soul and getting something off our chest. Although there is no requirement to tell someone it does help to keep us accountable.
Today consider confessing something to someone you trust and pray for the courage to do it.

“Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.” James 5:14

Asking others to pray for us is hard some times. Yet, that is one of the reasons the church exist…to pray for one another!
Today possibly share with someone you trust a prayer concern. Maybe it is an illness or just a concern.

“Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.” James 5:13b

At times many of us are joyful about something and we also forget to give thanks to God and sing!
Today remember that all good gifts in life are from God.
Turn to God today in praise for the thing you are joyful about.
Possibly even find a hymn or praise song and play it while you pray.

“Are any among you suffering? They should pray.” James 5:13a

At times in our suffering the last thing we think to do is pray.
James reminds us that in every and all suffering we should turn to God.
God does not require that we live this life alone but that we call out to God for comfort and help.
Today pray to God and share your sufferings with God.

Pastor Audrey winds up her sermon series on the book of James this week with prayer. The 5th chapter of James has much to say about the subject, and after all the encouragement to live a life of leadership and to reach for and find the wisdom that comes from heaven, encouragement to a life of prayer is an amazing way to end this journey.

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8

God does not force God’s self in our lives. Yet, God is willing to be part of our lives if we simply ask.
Consider how you might draw near to God throughout your day. Possibly you can pray on the 7s of each hour. Maybe you can print out your favorite Psalm and keep it on your desk or mirror.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God.” James 4:7

Each of us submit ourselves to so many things each day: traffic, debt, bosses, work.
Today James invites us to submit ourselves to God.
Today submit to God by trusting God and relying on God’s wisdom in each decision you make.

“Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you?” James 4:1

Confess to God these disputes.
Pray for direction and guidance.
Find a way to say sorry and rebuild the relationship.

“But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth.” James 3:14

Envy and selfishness seem to go hand in hand.
Most of us have fallen to these sins before and ourselves ungrateful and self-centered, which not only separates us from God but also from others.
James reminds us that in this situation we often stretch the truth and live into lies to make ourselves feel better.
Today examine your heart and the things you have said. Are they true to reality or are your stories born out of insecurity?
