Let’s be clear: I absolutely believe some people suffering from damaged emotions need to get professional help. Sometimes, though, we try to cope with the symptoms, and stop short of facing the sources of the pain. God goes straight to the heart of the problem with a prescription I’d like to offer you. You might be surprised at the simplicity.
“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray”(James 5:13).
The word “troubled” here means afflicted, suffering, enduring hardship or distress. Anxious, stressed, discouraged. Have you ever felt that way? Of course. We all have.
