"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you.  When a believing person prays, great things happen"-James 5:16 (NCV).  

Reflecting on our sins is uncomfortable, but to confess them to others is like showing our dirty laundry; however, the Bible instructs us to share with each other our shortcomings and then to pray for each other.  The most intimate relationships we ever have are those in which we share deeply, uncovering layers we've kept hidden, fearing judgment...rejection.  There is no doubt written in this Scripture; no "maybe" or "probably."  "So" and "when" are faith and trust that confession and prayer bring us before the Throne of Grace...where great things happen!
