1) The document discusses finding health, happiness and healing through prayer, praise, and fellowship. It references Psalm 30 and James 5:13-16. 2) Both passages encourage praying for healing in times of sickness and praising God in times of health. James instructs believers to call the elders to pray and anoint the sick with oil. 3) Psalm 30 recounts God lifting the psalmist out of distress and turning mourning to dancing. It teaches that God's favor lasts forever, even when his anger is temporary.

1. Health, Happiness & Healing
Psalm 30; James 5:13-16

2. Psalm 30
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House.
A Psalm of David.
I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me
up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over
me. O LORD my God, I cried to You for help,
and You healed me. O LORD, You have brought
up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me
alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.

3. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is
for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning. 6
Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will
never be moved.” O LORD, by Your favor You
have made my mountain to stand strong; You
hid Your face, I was dismayed. To You, O LORD,
I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:
“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down
to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it
declare Your faithfulness? “Hear, O LORD, and
be gracious to me;

4. O LORD, be my helper.” You have turned for
me my mourning into dancing; You have
loosed my sackcloth and girded me with
gladness, That my soul may sing praise to You
and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give
thanks to You forever.

5. James 5:13–16
Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must
pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.
Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call
for the elders of the church and they are to
pray over him, anointing him with oil in the
name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in
faith will restore the one who is sick, and the
Lord will raise him up, and if he has
committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

6. Therefore, confess your sins to one another,
and pray for one another so that you may be
healed. The effective prayer of a righteous
man can accomplish much.
