I was reading the following passage today:
He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Therefore I will also make you sick by striking you, by making you desolate because of your sins. You shall eat, but not be satisfied; hunger shall be in your midst. You may carry some away, but shall not save them; and what you do rescue I will give over to the sword. You shall sow, but not reap; you shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil; and make sweet wine, but not drink wine.” (-Micah 6:8,13-15)
and I was convicted (don’t try to follow the logic here, because there really isn’t any; it’s just one of those things where God used these words to speak to me what I, personally, needed to hear right now) of having never had the elders pray for me and anoint me with oil (James 5:14-15) for this adrenal fatigue and related symptoms. I was convicted of having focused on what I need to “do” to fix the problem myself, with prayer as an incidental “back-up,” rather than trusting God to take care of it, and me being the back-up.
