James reminds us that prayer has a purpose, a process, and power. Whether we're on the mountaintop or walking through the valley, we're called to pray—to praise God, seek Him, confess to one another, and trust His provision. The power isn't in the words we say; it's in the God we're praying to. Like Elijah, we may have to keep praying even when all we see is a tiny cloud. Don't stop praying. The rain is coming.
