Prayer causes changes to happen. We may not understand it, but God has chosen to act through the prayers of his children. Here is a wonderful promise from God. The prayer of faith can result in healing. God hears our prayers and raises up those for whom we are praying.
Prayer is a powerful force in our lives and in the lives of all believers.
As we reach out to God, he reaches out to us. As we pray for others, God raises them up. What a privilege we have that God hears our prayers. There is to be the closest possible friendship and sympathy amongst members. The elders are to hold themselves in readiness at any time to serve any member with prayer and sympathy and spiritual counsel.
