He Prayed Again

He Prayed Again

A good friend recently texted me about the Scripture passage in James chapter five, which tells us a little about Elijah’s prayer life. James tells us that Elijah prayed and the rain stopped for three and a half years. James 5:18 goes on to tell us that the prophet “prayed again” and the rains came and the land became fruitful after the lengthy drought. The words “prayed again” really stuck out to me. How much more would happened if we would simply pray—again. Maybe you find yourself in a spiritual drought. The good news is that your next prayer might just open up the heavens and make life fruitful again. No matter how long things have seemed dry, let’s be those who pray again and again. Now that’s something to pray about!
