“Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” (James 5:17–18 NIV11)

A man like us! Really. With feelings, fears, distractions, hopes, dreams,

God never changes in his power. Thus we can be confident he hears our prayers and he has the power to answer our prayers. Are we praying confidently? If we are confident in God it is more likely that we will pray:

Consistently
Specifically
Hopefully

Heinrich shared a number of specific answered prayers - some of his own and some of other people.

Do we pray?
Are we bold in our prayers?
Are we faithful in our prayers?
Do you believe God is capable of answering them?
Do you share stories of where God answered them?

Perseverance in prayer is important because our timing is not God’s timing.
