James' language is powerful. He mentions that this >confession doesn't just bring forgiveness. It also brings healing. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy Father, I have sinned. I now confess my own personal sin of >____________. I ask for your forgiveness and for your Spirit to strengthen >me in overcoming temptation. I want to live for you and not let my sin, >any sin, entangle me and draw me away from you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/nphpoux_nurnzb.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- > >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/tlhleck_nurnzb.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. > > > ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com>
