James 5:13-20 "Pray, Pray, Pray"

Throughout this letter, James has placed no small emphasis upon the way we use our tongues. So it serves as no surprise that as he winds down/wraps up, he exhorts us unto its highest use: prayer, praise & persuading others unto godliness. But the primary emphasis of this passage (by far) is placed upon prayer (being mentioned 7x's in Vs 13-18). He exhorts us to pray over our suffering, to seek prayer in times of sickness, we're to pray & intercede for one another… & we are to pray fervently. Meaning, not hyper-emotionally, & not mechanically or absent mindedly, but sincerely, passionately, from the heart.
