Confessing your sin and praying for one another—a tough struggle!

Added on by Lucas Necessary.

I used to hide stuff from facebook, because I didn't want my brothers and sisters to know what I was doing. It was shameful.  I know of a couple of people who, like I did, lead double lives. They try and hide stuff, too, while keeping the spiritually good stuff—you know, assembly and whatnot—very public.  I would have grown much faster if I'd had the guts to practice James 5:16, 

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

Do you have the courage to admit your struggles? Do you know what a relief it is to be able to open up to someone and say, "This is killing me—it hurts so bad and I feel like I just can't!" I got to do that at family camp, and man that was a relief. It builds confidence. Oh, and just as a freebie, if you're praying for someone, you'll be keeping him at the top of your mind.
