Musings about my trial (medicine+Prayer)

James 5:14 says, "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:" In the NT era, oil was used for medicinal purposes. James is prescribing medicine and prayer. Though, in my case, of course, the elders did not apply the medicine, the doctors did v. 15: "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up." Many are praying in faith for me. If the Lord wills, He will raise me up.
