17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
James 5:17-18
The prayer of the righteous avails much. The example of Elijah is given to prove this point.
This great prophet was a human being who faltered and failed. And yet, God heard and answered his prayers. Elijah prayed one prayer to stop the rain and another to restart the showers. Even though He was like us, in both instances, God still heard and responded to the prophet.
Pray, child of God. Believe, pray, and trust the Lord. The prayers of God’s people are effectual and powerful. Pray!
