Each one must prove to be like a hiding place from the wind
and a place of concealment from the rainstorm.—Isa. 32:2.





What if problems develop to the point that the spiritual health of a member of
the congregation is threatened? “Is there anyone sick among you?â€￾ asked the
Bible writer James. “Let him call the older men of the congregation to him, and
let them pray over him, greasing him with oil in the name of Jehovah.

And the prayer of faith will make the indisposed one well, and Jehovah will raise him up.
Also, if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.â€￾ (Jas. 5:14, 15)

Even if the spiritually ailing one does not “call the older men,â€￾
they should quickly come to his aid as soon as they become
aware of his situation. When they pray with and for their brothers and support them
in times of need, the elders prove themselves to be spiritually refreshing and
encouraging to those under their care.
