James 5:16-18 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and 1/2 years. Again he prayed , and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crop.
The LORD is far from the wicked but He hears the prayer of the righteous. PROVERBS 15:29
What a great prelude when it comes to prayer. Prior to the declaration that the prayer of the righteous are effectial the Word of God tells us how to become righteous. Confess your sins!!! Wow! You see that is the problem between the righteous and the unrighteous. Confession of sins. While the wicked continue in their wickedness and their folly against God, their prayers do not even reach their cieling. That is why their life is falling apart. Marriages are breaking, family is broken up, loneliness sets in and you are left there alone with no friends or family and no purpose in life. This wicked person then only becomes more angry and refuses to repent and confess their sins. So their prayers unfortunetly are never answered.
The Word of God says, repent of your sins and you shall be heard. When you repent and confess, your sins are relieved and you are made righteous and your prayers reach the throne room of God. The ears of God.
