In James 3, 4, & 5, James cautions us as to what it looks like to live a life in full surrender to Jesus. We need to ask the Lord for help. He will empower us with His grace and power as we abide in Him, rest in Him, and walk with Him. The more time we spend in His Word, soaking up His truth into our hearts, the more He will empower us with self-control. We are not to judge others. We have never been in their shoes and don't know what they are going through. God does. That is why He is the only Judge and the rightful Judge. Everyone has a story God is working through them. Offer prayer and kindness and show others the love Jesus has shown us. The Lord hears every prayer and prayer is powerful.
