Passage: James 5:13-20

Overview:
This week we are in James 5:13-20 talking about prayer. James is challenging the believers he is writing to to get back to making prayer a central part of their walk with Jesus. There are problems James describes in those verses and the primary emphasis James has is directing his readers to pray in those times. James highlights throughout  that prayer is more powerful than our problems, but the question is, "Do we live like it is?"

What do we want our teens to know?

• God is more powerful than our problems
• The prayers of other people for us are powerful 
• Prayer is powerful because of faith

What do we want our teens to do?

• Make prayer a daily habit

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Have regular times of prayer together as a family, either before school, at meals, or before bed. Your kids will take prayer as seriously as you do. 
• Regularly pray with and for your kids individually as different seasons arise in their lives.
