Why We Should Pray

      1 Is any among you afflicted? Let them pray.
      Is  anyone  happy?  Let  them  sing  psalms.  Is
      anyone sick among you? Let them call for the
      elders  of  the  church;  and  let  the  elders  pray
      over  them,  anointing  them  with  oil  in  the
      name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall
      save the sick, and the Lord shall raise them up;
      and if they have committed sins, they shall be
      forgiven them. Confess your faults to another,

      and  pray  one  for  another,  that  you  may  be
      healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
      righteous man avails much.


      2 Likewise, the Spirit also helps our infirmities:
      for we know not what we should pray for as we
      ought: but the Spirit makes intercession for us
      with groaning which cannot be uttered. And he
      that searches the hearts knows the mind of the
      Spirit,  because  he  makes  intercession  for  the

      saints  according  to  the  will  of  God.  And  we
      know all things work together for good

      to those who love God and are the called

      according to his purpose.
