Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does this passage tell a sick person to do, what does it tell the church to do, and what does it say about confession?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Why have you not asked your community to pray over your body?

  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Who will you call this week — and what will you ask them to pray for?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who has wandered from the community while ill that someone should go after?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Father, you tell the sick to call, the church to come, and all of us to confess to one another. Make us a community where illness is spoken and prayed over, not hidden.
