SESSION FIVE<br />

PRAYER TRANSFORMS YOU<br />

94 95<br />

DAY 4 • READ JAMES 5:16A:<br />

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you<br />

may be healed.<br />

RESPOND:<br />

Sometimes it feels much safer to just confess our mistakes to God.<br />

But this verse says we are to confess to other people? Who is someone<br />

you feel safe enough that would be willing to hear your confession<br />

and pray for you?<br />

DAY 5 • READ JAMES 5:16B:<br />

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces<br />

wonderful results.<br />

RESPOND:<br />

What promise do we find in this verse? Do you feel like your prayer<br />

life is powerful and effective? Journal about this idea.<br />

DAY 6 • READ JAMES 5:17-18:<br />

Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly<br />

that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then,<br />

when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began<br />

to yield its crops.<br />

RESPOND:<br />

Read the story of Elijah in the Old Testament (see 1 Kings 17-18).<br />

What do you notice? Ask God to speak to you through this story<br />

about praying with faith.
