James 5:16-18
New King James Version
16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (A)The effective, [b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man (B)with a nature like ours, and (C)he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed (D)again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Living Bible
16 Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results. 17 Elijah was as completely human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for the next three and a half years! 18 Then he prayed again, this time that it would rain, and down it poured, and the grass turned green and the gardens began to grow again.
