The Lord Hears us When We Pray, So Why isn't Life Easy?

James 5:16-18; 1 Kings 19:6-28

James paraphrased: “Elijah the great prophet was a human being, even as we
are, full of weakness needed to pray more earnestly because the power behind his
prayer did not lie in his supernatural giftedness but rather in his humane need for God’s intervention... The prayer of a righteous person is only powerful when energized by the Holy Spirit: James 5:18-19;
God permits or causes difficult situations to punish sin and hopefully cause
repentance. God’s chastisements always come with a prophetic message for sinners t repent and follow Him; it’s not only uncontrolled divine wrath to just ease His anger.
III) Finally the ultimate purpose of God’s will in all situations that we experience in
life, the goodness body is found in Verse 24 - Verse 25; The woman and her sons know experientially the truth of God’s word and its heading restoring power in every situation.

Amen; Romans 8:28
