English Standard Version
The book of James is filled with everyday guidance. It helps us know how to treat one another, how to react to setbacks, how to handle life. It gives us wisdom that is real and actionable, and through it all, it points to the eternal life made possible through the grace and peace and mercy of God.
May we all seek to have the prayer life that James points to, where our first instinct is to turn to God, individually and collectively. May we find Biblical characters and prayers that we can relate to, that teach us about ourselves and about God, and offer us encouragement as we see the ways they have failed and the ways God delivers regardless of our shortcomings.
