James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Admitting your faults, wrongdoing and sins is never easy, but being able to pray for each other so we can be less tempted and to sin less is always good.
Just as we trust others more the more they tell us the truth, so God will be listening and answering when He knows you are genuine with your requests.
God is faithful to answer our prayers; just how faithful are we with our honouring Him and listing up those prayers?
