Healing

Healing

One of the more remarkable promises of Scripture is found in James 5:16, which reads, “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16). As the apostle James tells us, there’s something about sharing our sins and struggles with trusted friends and leaders that unlocks greater healing and wholeness. So let’s be sure to take advantage of this heavenly prescription of confession and intercession. I’m confident that we would see much more healing—mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wounds touched by God’s power—as we live this out with one another in our families and church communities. Now that’s something to pray about!
