Read James 5:13-18

“The prayer of the righteous person is powerful in what it can achieve.” -James 5:16b

Every Monday, our Sanctuary is opened for prayer at noon, all are invited to gather to lift up the concerns and the celebrations of our church family, community, and world. Our pastors also prayer during the week for our church. 

Those who gather to prayer are living out the charge given in the letter of James to pray for those who are suffering, those who are happy, and those who are sick. The journey of prayer doesn’t always end up exactly where we anticipated. One thing is for sure, though: the fact that they prayed mattered…for them and for the ones being prayed for. Prayer is a powerful thing.

Where in your own life have you seen evidence of the power of prayer?

What do you imagine is possible if every member of the St. Paul’s UMC family prays diligently?
