"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)
Many of us struggle with two common problems: We don't always like to admit our shortcomings and we don't always like to ask for help. When we are part of a supportive community, these things can become easier. Reaching the point of admitting our shortcomings and asking for help can open new doors and be beneficial for ourselves and for those around us.
In James we are reminded that we should be there for one another, ready to support each other in prayer. When we admit that we have sinned and then pray for each other, we can be healed. The healing can also extend to our relationships. By caring and praying for each other, we can build up the body of Christ. Together, we can join our hearts in service to God and accomplish much for the betterment of each other, those in our community, and the Kingdom of God on earth!
Admit your shortcomings, pray for each other, and accomplish much together in the name of the Lord!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for saving me and redeeming me. Help me to admit my shortcomings, pray for those around me, and live to accomplish much in Your name for Your Kingdom. Through Jesus, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
