The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. James 5:16b
Last night at dinner with dear friends, I stumbled over words meant to share a miracle God had recently worked in my family’s life. After the fervent prayer of loved ones, my son was given a second chance. I wanted to say that the prayers of the righteous are, indeed, powerful and effective (James 5:16). I found it easier to talk about the circumstances than I did in God’s hand in the miracle. If I had been more courageous and shared God’s miracle, who knows what needed blessing God might have revealed to my friends? I am in need of the first half of the verse today: Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. James 5:16a I confess my weakness and pray for discernment and the courage to share.
