James said, “Be patient, like a farmer waiting for rain to make his crops grow.”
He said, “If you're in trouble, pray. If you're happy, sing praises. If you're sick, ask the church leaders to pray for you.”
James said prayer is powerful! Elijah was a normal person like us, and when he prayed, God answered in amazing ways.
