1. Pray When Stirred by Your Emotions (v. 13)
2. Pray When Suffering from Sickness (v. 14)
3. Pray When Struggling with Sin (v. 15)

4. Pray When Stressed by Spiritual Needs (v. 16)
    “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”

               • Personal Confession

               • Mutual Intercession

               • God’s Answers

5. Pray When Stimulated by Godly Desire (v. 16-18)
“The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.”

The Declaration: The power of the prayer of a righteous person
        • Am I “righteous” enough for God to answer my prayers?

The Illustration: Praying like Elijah
