Longing for God – Day 252

₁₃Are any of you in trouble? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. ₁₄Are any of you ill? You should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord. ₁₅This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and the sins they have committed will be forgiven. ₁₆So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect. ₁₇Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years. ₁₈Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops.
