When you face a problem, what is your first response? God works powerfully through prayer, yet too often we look at it as a last resort. Using the example of Elijah, James reminds us what the effective prayer of a righteous person can accomplish. In today’s passage, the subject is healing, but that’s not the only prayer God answers. A great many things can be impacted for good by the power of prayer:
- Temptation. Jesus told His disciples that prayer was essential to fighting temptation (Mark 14:38).
- Praise. After being beaten and thrown into prison, Paul and Silas prayed and praised God (Acts 16:25).
- Spiritual Warfare. Paul teaches us to access God’s power by “pray[ing] without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
- Transformation. When we pray according to God’s desires, He transforms our mind, character, and actions (Colossians 1:9-12).
- Witness. Through prayer, we ask that the Lord open doors for us to spread His Word (Colossians 4:3; 2 Thessalonians 3:1).
- Protection. God is faithful to answer requests that He strengthen and protect us from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3).
The next time you face a challenging situation, remember that prayer is powerful. Share your needs and watch God work.
Bible in One Year: Joshua 16-19
Thought for Today: You don’t have to face anything alone. Bring your needs to God in prayer and watch Him work.
