The Prayer of Faith That Saves the Sick (James 5:15–16a Prayer Devotional)

The "prayer of faith" is something that the prophet began the letter by talking about, in the context of the eternal hope that gladdens us in the midst of temporal trial. Now at the end of the letter, the prophet affirms that when the elders come and lead the sick believer in this prayer of faith, that prayer is always instrumental and ultimately successful in God's working to give this believer what Jesus has deserved for us.
