"Prayer and Faith I have frequently seen that the children of the Lord neglect prayer, especially secret prayer, altogether too much; that many do not exercise that faith which it is their privilege and duty to exercise, often waiting for that feeling which faith alone can bring. Feeling is not faith; the two are distinct. Faith is ours to exercise, but joyful feeling and the blessing are God's to give. The grace of God comes to the soul through the channel of living faith, and that faith it is in our power to exercise. EW 72"
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Both passages emphasize the importance of prayer. James 5:16 highlights the effectiveness of fervent prayer, while EGW stresses the neglect of prayer and the need to exercise faith in conjunction with it.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Both passages discuss the nature of faith. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as the substance of things hoped for, while EGW distinguishes faith from feeling and emphasizes that faith is something we can actively exercise.
