2. Grow: a. Reread James 5:13-18. 

   i. What does verse 16 teach you about prayer?

   b. According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, how do we become right with God, or “the righteousness of God”? Where do you stand with God? How do you know?

3. Flourish: If the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective, and you have been made righteous in the eyes of God through Jesus, what does this mean for your prayer life? How do these passages give you direction or hope?

Answer the following questions in the "Going Deeper" section of your Bite-Size Bible Study® Companion journal or another space if you don't have one:

1. Cultivate: Take a moment to get honest with God about your current beliefs about prayer and your own practice of prayer. Jot down a few sentences of confession. Include your fears and doubts.

   a. Comprehend: What does it say about prayer?

   c. Converse: How does it apply to your life?

3. Flourish: If Jesus were asking, "What do you want me to do for YOU?" (Luke 18:41) during this series together (about your problems, your people or your prayer life), how would you respond?
