LCMS Pastors' Resources

If you’ve ever wondered if prayer changes anything or if God is even listening, this sermon embraces that struggle. What’s the point of praying when the answer feels like a resounding “no”? We’ll unpack what James 5:13-20 says about prayer, relationships with God, and why the answer is sometimes hard to understand.

But we also get personal—have you ever prayed in desperation and felt like the help came just in time? Is prayer just about the outcome, or is there something deeper happening? What is it like to connect with a God who feels our joy and pain?

Want to dig deeper into how prayer shapes our faith? Stay connected for next week’s series, where we’ll go beyond the surface and tackle the big questions.
