PRAY James 5:13-16 Part 2 of 2

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.  

and the prayer offered in faith 
James 1:5-6  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Therefore confess your sins to each other 
Matthew 3:6  Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him (John the Baptist) in the Jordan River.
Acts 19:18  Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done.

and pray for each other so that you may be healed 
Hebrews 12:13  Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
1 Peter 2:24  "He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5)

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective 
Matthew 7:7  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
John 9:31  "We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will."
