(James 5:16 NKJV) 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.
We need each other. No matter how we look at it, we need each other. We were designed to need each other.
There are some of us that don’t like to bother others and we want to handle things ourselves. There are some things we can handle on our own. But, there may come a situation when it is just too much and we need to reach out to others and ask for help.
Why did God create us this way? Was it so we could take advantage of people or be relying on others all the time? No, that isn’t why. There should be no taking advantage of anyone at any time. But a healthy balance in getting help is what God intended. God tells us to confess to each other so that we can get healing.
When we are facing a hard time, or going through things, reaching out for help causes us to humble ourselves and get the prayer we need for our troubles.
When we confess to others, it also helps us to see ourselves in the state we are in, causing us to be accountable for our actions. This is all good and will help us to get through our situation, as we obey God and not try to do it all on our own, but with the help of others and God’s leading.
Let us help our brothers and sisters in need today and let us see the need in ourselves and get the help we need at times.
Healing starts when we confess.
