with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 107:17-20
Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.

them from the grave.
Psalm 41:1-4
Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. The LORD

holy servant Jesus."

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with
oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord

pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective.

seeking God--the LORD, the God of his fathers--even if he is not clean according to the rules of the
