Seek God with Prayer of Faith
Just as a human body that fails
to breathe is labelled a dead body,
so too a faith that fails to breathe
us labelled a dead faith. And the
breath of faith in the Christian life
is good works: demonstrating
concern for the poor, controlling
the tongue & building up others.
True faith & good works cannot be
divorced, for your life is the lab in
which your faith is shown to be real.
Lord, we will Keep On Praying:
Be Patient as you Wait for the Lord…
Consider the farmers who patiently
wait for the rains…They eagerly look
for the valuable harvest to ripen.
You too must Be Patient (Jas 5:7-8).
Are there among you Suffering?
They should Keep On Praying
about it. And those who have
reason to be thankful should
continually sing praises to the Lord.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him
call for the elders of the church,
and let them pray over him (v13-14).
And the Prayer offered in Faith
will make the sick person well…
Therefore Confess your sins to
each other and Pray for each
other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man
is powerful and effective (v15-16).
Lord, so many of us struggle with
being patient. And You teach us
patience by putting us in situations
where we really have to be patient.
You Lord want us to grow this trait;
and so You put us in circumstances
that push our patience to the limit.
So help us Lord to take courage
and patiently wait so that You
will reward us in Your time. Amen.
Lord, I want to be a faithful follower
who doesn’t stop praying because
of delay, setback or even weariness.
For You won’t delay any longer than
is needed to achieve Your purpose.
Empower me to Keep On Praying
until the answers come; & lead me
to be continually thankful to You
and bless Your holy name. Amen.
Lord, grateful our righteousness
comes from what You have done.
And we are righteous because of
Your great sacrifice on the cross.
Help us Lord to Confess our sins not
only to You, but also to each other
so that healing can come to us all.
Thank You for making our prayers
powerful and effective. Amen.
