James week 6 / last day

Read James 5: 13-20 and watch video #12 at RightNowMedia

Prayer Journal: Begin keeping a prayer journal, in which you record the things you pray for. Plan to check back periodically to see how God is changing the situation, and how He’s changing you.

Group Prayer: If you don’t already do this, connect with other believers for group prayer. Talk with a few friends about getting together on a regular basis to pray for the needs of your church and community.

Care for the Sick: Do you know anyone who’s sick? How can you help them? Are there practical matters—errands to run—you could attend to? How could you encourage them? And don’t neglect prayer—for and with the sick person.

Study Elijah: The character of Elijah is fascinating. Pick the story up in 1 Kings 17, and follow him until he gets swept up to heaven in 2 Kings 2. Do a name search to find other Bible passages that mention Elijah. Consider how his “passions” made him such an effective pray-er.

Connect with Wanderer: Do you know anyone who is wandering from the faith? What can you do to reach out to this person? Pray a lot before you do anything. Listen for God’s direction. And remember all of James’s cautions about the tongue. Don’t spew harsh judgment, but express your love and concern.
