1 John 5:14–17
14 "This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death."

God hears the prayers of His children.  John then gives an example of how effective that prayer can be.  Suppose we have a sinning brother in the church, and as a result of his sin God has brought him close to death.  That brother is now repentant and John says that when we pray for him, God hears us and will restore that brother.
