"Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months" (James 5:17)
As proof that the prayers of a righteous man can accomplish much, James points us to Elijah. He was a human being--just like you and me. In response to Elijah's prayer, no rain feel on the earth for 3 1/2 years. This sounds like a challenge to me. If Elijah was just like me and he could get an outrageous answer to prayer, why can't I?
Today, let me challenge you to make a list of some things that you really need God to do for you. Pick one or two and "pray earnestly". Keep it up all day--all the time looking for God's answer.
