James 5:13-18

Goodspeed(i) 13 If any one of you is in trouble, he should pray. If any one is in good spirits, he should sing a hymn. 14 If any one is sick, he should call in the elders of the church and have them pray over him, and pour oil on him in the name of the Lord, 15 and the prayer offered in faith will save the sick man; the Lord will restore him to health, and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. An upright man can do a great deal by prayer when he tries. 17 Elijah was a man like us, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and for three years and six months there was no rain in the land. 18 Then he prayed again, and the heavens yielded rain and the earth produced crops.
