A Call to Prayer

Back to Message Archive

Throughout this letter James has had one primary goal, to challenge us to live out what we believe. If we are going to do that – if we are going to allow our faith to overflow into the way we live then we must be people of prayer.

When we pray we are confessing that we believe in the sovereignty of God and that He is the one who is able to bring change in our lives and in our world. When we neglect prayer we are confessing that we do not really believe that God is powerful enough to intervene in our situations.

In this passage James helps us to consider the role that prayer should play in our lives and the incredible power of prayer.
