“Those Who Can’t Do, Pray”

From time to time, someone will tell me, “there isn’t anything I can do about this, I’ll just have to pray.” It is as though they’re apologizing for not being able to do anything constructive. However, one of the most constructive things we can do is pray.

In James 5:13-16, we read:

“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Your prayers are powerful and effective. Your prayers make a difference in the lives of others and in the world. Whenever you pray, God Almighty, the Creator of the universe, is listening. And, God will answer each one of your prayers.

Sometimes God answers, “Yes”. Sometimes God answers, “No”. And sometimes God answers, “Wait”. God will always answer our prayers with the perfect answers that are keeping with His will.

So, keep praying. The world is counting on you.

In Christ,

Pastor David
