The Prayer of Faith

Today we will cover patience. And if ANY of you are like me, that is very hard to do. ESPECIALLY during suffering. We want so bad for the storm to be over that we don't pay attention to the lesson and the reason of the storm. Well the storm is going to pass. But it doesn't feel like it at the time. That storm looks like Katrina at the moment. But guess what? Even Katrina passed. So will your storm, OUR storm. Say the prayer of faith. He is planting that seed in us. Let us allow it to flourish and be fruitful. But first, we MUST endure. It is hard, trust me I know. But let us pray and be mindful of the outcome. NOTHING here on Earth last forever. Remember this too shall pass.

The Prayer of Faith
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore 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.
17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. 19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
