December 15, 2009—Power in Prayer
Scripture: James 1-5
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
James 5:16
Observation
James boldly declares the power of prayer, and uses the example of Elijah praying for drought and rain to illustrate his point.
Application
It is easy to forget that God, in his wisdom, has purposed to establish his kingdom rule in this realm in partnership with the prayers of his people. The heavens are not brass, and God is willing to move on my behalf if I will ask him to do so. Ask!
Prayer
Father, you know the requests and intercessions I have brought before you today. I thank you that you hear, and that you are pleased to work on my behalf today. Please be glorified in my life as you establish your kingdom in partnership with my prayers. In Jesus’ name, amen.
