The theme of James 5:13-18 is prayer
James 1 - There is prayer, in the context of going through trials and needing wisdom

James 2 - although prayer is not evident in chapter 2, the theme of putting faith into action is present, which is also a theme of James 5:13-18

James 3 - With the issue of the tongue, there is a reference to "blessing our Lord and Father", which is prayer; and that it needed to be consistent with how we used our tongues with others

James 4 - When we pray, in this wrong heart attitude, we don't get what we ask for

James 5 - This passage is all about prayer, in different contexts. When you are suffering...pray
When you are happy...pray. When you are weak, physically or spiritually...pray
