Day #19

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16 (NASB)

Confession to God in the name of Jesus brings forgiveness but according to James 5:16 confession to one another can help bring about healing. James says that there is power in the prayer of a righteous man. We need to learn to become comfortable in sharing our short-comings with one another. Women: find other sisters in Christ to confide in (not gossip) and share your struggles. Men: secure some other brothers whom you can confess to (not just shoot the breeze) and receive encouragement from. We are not alone. God hears our prayers but perhaps others should as well.

Be encouraged and keep moving forward.
