CONFESSION AND PRAYER
To be fully known and fully loved is the most
healing gift one human being can give another. James writes, “Confess your sins
to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.” (James
5:16) We are all forgiven, recovering sinners, and no one can be secure in a
relationship if they are loved only because they are smart, pretty, strong, or
successful. Sin isolates us, and sin and isolation will make us sick in our
soul and even our body. Confession and then prayer, connectedness to each other
and to God, ushers in the Spirit and helps bring healing.
