Studies on Prayer: Vol. 2

يوم 1 من إجمالي 9

Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Prayer is the greatest technique God ever gave us. If you will pray and keep on praying and pray some more, there isn’t any difficulty that need dishearten you. You will get your heart back by prayer.” A recent survey asked people what they pray about, and 74% of them responded, “My own problems and difficulties.” Even people of little or no faith often pray when things are tough. We serve a big God who hears every prayer. James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote to encourage and teach Jewish Christians, perhaps those that had been scattered after the stoning of Stephen. James concluded his practical letter by talking about the importance of prayer. He, like Norman Vincent Peale, would say that prayer is the greatest technique God ever gave us.

Glance over, or read, the book of James, and take note of the various topics addressed.

1. Chapter 5 begins with the words, “Now listen, you rich people.” Theologians do not believe he is addressing Christians with that statement, but rather the wealthy Jews and Romans. What Prophetic Word does James want the early Christians to understand about their current situation? (verses 5:1–6)

2. What should a Christian do in times of trouble? (verse 5:13)

3. Why should a Christian praise God in times of trouble?

"Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!" —Andrew Murray
