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.
James 5:16 NKJV
This verse is probably the basis of the confessional in the Catholic Church. I’m not so sure that practice is a great application of this biblical truth. But we have largely ignored this verse all together. How then should this verse be expressed?
I think it’s about having someone godly in your life that you could share your sins and your struggles with. Someone who could pray for you, believe in you and cheer you on. And then being honest and vulnerable with that person.
I am blessed. I have people like that in my life.
