Pray
Are any among you suffering? They
should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise. Are any among
you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over
them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will
save the sick, and the LORD will raise them up; and anyone who has committed
sins will be forgiven. Therefore confess you sins to one another, and pray for
one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful
and effective. Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed fervently that
it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the
earth. Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its
harvest.
Do you have any idea how powerful
prayer really is? Prayer releases the vast resources of God’s character and
blessings in your life. When we long for a satisfying taste of His resources,
prayer is essential.
The more we pray, the more we receive,
and before long our lives will demonstrate the life-changing reality of the muchness of God.
Much prayer,
much power;
little prayer,
little power;
no prayer, no
power!
