Confess your sins to each
other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest
prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful
results.
James 5:16
When we confess our sins, we are admitting to God that we are imperfect. When we repent (which literally means: to change direction) we change our path. When we pray, we are having a conversation with God. We have access to converse with the Creator of EVERYTHING! So why do we find it so difficult to talk with Him? We claim to be "too busy" but is that really the truth? My own struggle has been feeling intimidated talking with the One who knows EVERYTHING about me. Yet when I face the fact that while God knows everything about me, every speck of dust in the hidden corners of my being, and still loves me so much that He WANTS to talk with me...my fear vanishes.
You can pray for every single person you meet. You can pray for the person who hands you your breakfast through the drive-thru. You can pray for the person you pass in the hallway. You can pray for the person you notice in a class who looks dejected. Prayer is extremely powerful! Prayer can change someone's world; it can change our perspective; it can change our own life...let's learn to pray by talking with God.
