God is so amazing! The very thing we run from, hide from is that which sets us free. Tonight my small group had a night of confession. We each took a few minutes in prayer before the Lord, asking Him to point out to us areas of sin in our lives. Then we each confessed one sin to the group. After the individual was done with their confession, she prayed to the Lord and another woman prayed for her. We went around the group in this way until everyone had two chances to confess.
The Lord says in His word, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16 God was so faithful tonight to show us the fruit of acting on His word. Each woman was healed tonight from guilt and shame. Each woman was made clean and was given a lighter load, one filled with hope.
"Praise the Lord! How blessed am I who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments." Psalm 112
