Another short one for this week but I’m so glad it fell on this week, just a day after I announced I’ve written an eBook. This verse?
Therefore 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 5:15-16
That in a nutshell is what my eBook is about. I went through a really hard time but I’m ready to share some truth. And most of all, I’m ready to help pray some women through their confession and healing. I love this post from Justin at RefineUs blog. There is no shame in admitting a failure. In fact, I believe in those words the truth will set you free. And it’s not just an inner truth, I think there is power in confessing it publicly. Maybe you don’t need to write an eBook or stand in front of a group but I wholeheartedly believe in this idea that we are truly healed when we confess to one another. Sharing this book with some of my family and friends has provided a freedom that I had not found to date, even years after I had confessed to those I had wronged.
Before I write another eBook, I’ll stop there and just ask, what do you need to confess? Is there something I can pray for you about?
“Before I write another eBook, I’ll stop there and just ask, what do you need to confess? ” There’s not enough space on the internet….
All jokes aside, yes. Yes, there’s several things I need to confess, but more importantly there are several things of which i need to repent. I’d appreciate a prayer for courage & that God will chisel away at me, please.
What can we be in prayer for you about Amy?
I love this series. Thank you
Ally, email me if you want to talk through anything. Seriously. Please pray for this book and that it would help change those that read it.
Ah, I need to forgive someone who isn’t seeking my forgiveness. That’s my big struggle right now. I am praying for just the desire to forgive her and the ability to see her as suffering and in need of prayer.
AND I feel so sad that I am struggling with this! Like this is my big test and I am failing because I’m not rushing to forgive abd be Christ like!
I will pray for you. When I’ve encountered this i just told God straight up I was having a hard time and asked Him to help me see her as he did and to have a compassion for her. He will give you what you need to forgive. It’s impossible in our own strength.
