James provides three situations that call for prayer: suffering, cheerfulness, and sickness. Prayer reveals what a person really believes and expresses their understanding of God's interest and involvement in all of life. Prayer is based on: 1) relationship with God as Father; 2) the expectation of the supernatural; and 3) God's undeserved favor in human lives.
