Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 NIV
I got nothing. I mean do we really do this, with honesty and full faith? I bet not. In fact I can guarantee you we dont. Why not? Because we are afraid people will judge us or dislike us or be angry with us if we confess our sins to them. We think then they won't pray for us, especially of we've hurt someone. And we do have to face consequences.
But those who love us will forgive us, and they'll pray earnestly for us. Then we can be healed from the foothold that sin has taken in our lives. Healing isn't always physical. It's spiritual as well.
So let those who love you pray over you. Don't be embarrassed. Let your story be told so others may learn.
