Main Point: Persevering in the meantime requires prayerful dependence on Christ

Key Scripture: James 5:13-20

A General Reminder: Give Every Situation to God (5:13)

Whatever your circumstances, always be mindful of God. Express your prayerful dependence on him, and give your situation to him in prayer or praise

A Specific Appeal : Depend on the Lord Together (5:14-18)

When we pray with faith, we ought to anticipate a positive answer to that prayer, rather than assuming that God will give a negative answer

All of us ought to be active in confessing our sins to one another and praying for one another, that we might be healed both physically and spiritually

A Final  Encouragement Watch Out for One Another (5:19-20)

As we make our way through this fallen world, waiting for the Lord’s return, James wants us to watch out for one another
