268) Saving the Strays - James 5:19-20

Summary: It was more fitting to use the drought prayer rather than the resurrection prayer of Elijah in this context because the focus is on bringing refreshment and renewal from God through repentance, not just physical healing. And in this case, you are the rain! We all wander and need to be rescued. Rescuing means simply turning the person back in the direction (direction, not perfection). Do it through prayer, and do it gently and humbly. Realize what is at stake: their eternal soul!
