the righteous are both powerful and effective.)
The Prayer of Faith – James 5:13-16

13 
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. 
Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 
Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray
14 

over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord
15 

will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that
you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous person is
powerful and effective.
•13 May paghihirap ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Manalangin siya.
Nagagalak ba ang sinuman? Umawit siya ng papuri sa Diyos. 

•14 May sakit ba ang sinuman sa inyo? Ipatawag ninyo ang


matatandang pinuno ng iglesya upang ipanalangin siya at pahiran
ng langis sa pangalan ng Panginoon. 

•15 Pagagalingin ng Diyos ang maysakit dahil sa panalanging may


pananampalataya; palalakasin siyang muli ng Panginoon. At kung
siya'y nagkasala, patatawarin siya sa kanyang mga kasalanan. 

•16 Kaya nga, ipagtapat ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid ang inyong


mga kasalanan at ipanalangin ninyo ang isa't isa, upang kayo'y
gumaling. Malaki ang nagagawa ng panalangin ng taong matuwid.

My Prayer
Thank You, Heavenly Father, that I am Your child. I want to
know You more and pray that as I seek You through Your
Word and come before Your throne of grace, in prayer and
praise, You will show me more of Yourself. Instill in my heart
a desire to seek You more and search for You with my whole
heart, and I pray that I will discover a depth of Your perfect
character that I have never seen before. Let me reflect You in
thought, word, and deed, as Christ is being formed in me. In
His name I pray, AMEN.
