There Is a Balm in Gilead

Jeremiah refers twice to Gilead (8:22; 46:11), evidently a place of spices and medicinal ointments; the refrain here is a prayer for healing, both of body and soul. The verses encourage all believers to testify to the love of Jesus, even if we cannot preach like Peter or pray like Paul.
