“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
James 5:16 KJV
Admitting our faults to one another so that we can pray for each other, brings us to react immediately in the negative! Because we enjoy being the first to know and carrying it to each other as talebearers, prayer is usually after the matter has been discussed threadbare! We may want to help and offer solutions but it is not with the wisdom from above which is peaceable! Let’s ask Jesus to first heal our heart to have the confidence that God’s Word is Rock solid; and then our tongue so that we don’t speak words of condemnation or judge the matter. Let’s respond like Jesus did Who was obedient to the Father even unto death, and obey by praying for one another and then decree healing where required. Let’s do it with our Father’s unconditional love in our hearts! The prayers of the righteous avail much, God says!
