Here's today's in-touch devotion.
Today's Scripture reading is James 5 verses 16-18.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be
healed.
The effect of prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not
reign, and it did not reign on the earth for three years and six months.
Then, he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
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.
Praise.
After being beaten and thrown into prison, Paul and Silas prayed and praised God.
After warfare, Paul teaches us to access God's power by praying without ceasing.
Transformation
When we pray according to God's desires, he transforms our mind, character, and actions.
Witness
Through prayer, we ask that the Lord open doors for us to spread His Word.
God is faithful to answer requests that He strengthen and protect us from the evil one.
The next time you face a challenging situation, remember that prayer is powerful.
Share your needs and watch God work.
