Heartlight Daily Devotional  Saturday, May 6, 2006


Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you 
may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
--James 5:16
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
To confess is to do two things with our sin: 1) to recognize sin for 
what it is in God's eyes and 2) to get rid of our secrets and be 
honest with another Christian. 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.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
