How did Elijah pray before obtaining his request?

Answer

"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it
rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven
gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." James 5: 17, 18. See Rev. 11: 3-6.
