The Lord Jesus never did anything without praying first. In today’s message from the book of James, Pastor Ed teaches us about the importance of prayer. Prayer is not just for emergent situations. Prayer is a way to develop true intimacy with the Lord. We will also learn how to pray for the sick. Pastor Ed teaches us today that when we have a loved one that is gravely ill, we have special recourse. The Bible teaches us that we can summon the elders of the church to the ill person’s bedside to receive prayer.
