Please read James 5.
Meditate on verse 16b.
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
Do not grow
weary and lose heart in your prayer life. God heard and answered Elijah’s
prayers, and he was a person just like you. Even Elijah had a sinful nature.
Do not
believe Satan when he says your prayers will not make a difference, or the sins
of your past disqualify you to ask the LORD to work in your life and the lives
of others.
God says you
must pray. You must pray when you are suffering; you must pray when you are
cheerful. You must pray for others and yourself. James compares human lives to
soil that needs early and late rains in order to produce a crop. Pray for God’s
truth to rain on those you love in order to produce a bountiful harvest of
righteousness.
Pray James
5:19-20 over those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, _________
has strayed from Your truth.
Turn them back. Turn them from the error of
their ways.
Save
their soul from death and cover a multitude of their sins.
In Your name, Jesus~”
