James 5: 13-20

13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. 17 Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! 18 Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.
Restore Wandering Believers 19 My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, 20 you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

I think these verses show us how important prayer is. In saying that I don't pray as much as I should or as earnestly as I should. I do pray, but I always think I need to be doing it more. I know it's an easy thing to do so I'm going to challenge myself to pray more. If you want to join the challenge leave a comment and let me know, so I can pray for you as well!

Father~ Thank you so much for listening to our prayers and answering them too. Help me to spend more time with you. In your name Amen.
