SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
James 5:16-18
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Prayer changes things! I want to encourage you today to continue to pray. It may seem as though your prayers are not being heard but I want to encourage you today to keep on praying. Don't give in to your feelings. The devil plays on emotions. God is hearing your every plea and He is working on your behalf. Elias was a man just like we are and he prayed that it would not rain for a specified period of time. This shows us that we must be specific in our praying. We must also come before God with a pure heart. We must pour out to God earnestly! My friend God is hearing your prayers and it will work for your good. God always answers prayer. It may not be the answer we want but it will be the best answer for us.
The best way to see change in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones is through prayer. If you are lacking in your prayer life decide today to dedicate time to prayer. Communication with God on a daily basis is a must and a joy! Thank God we have the privilage to talk to God and we don't have to go through another man or woman but we can fall on our face and cry out to our God who hears our hearts cry. Prayer changes thing, prayer changes people and prayer changes situations! Have you prayed today?
