About This Quote
The idea that we will be healed and happy after we turn to God is one of the most popular and well-researched ideas in the world today. The idea can be traced back to a passage in the Bible, the book of James. In James 5:14-16, it reads: "Is any sick among you? 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 will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him."
