When Christians Pray

Between Hardship and Happiness

James 5:13 NLT

13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.

Wellness

James 5:14–15 NLT

14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.

Communal Confession

James 5:16 NLT

16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
