The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, James 5 says to confess to each other and pray for each other so that we can be healed. I know I need that healing. But telling another person my sins is one of the hardest things for me. I keep it all inside. I am scared of what they will think. Help me pick one safe person. A pastor, an older friend, someone I trust. Help me be honest with that one person, not just with You. Give me the courage to call them or talk to them this month. I do not want to keep putting it off. Amen.
