Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
(James 5:16 NIV)
Does this mean I need to seek out a super saint when I need real power of prayer? Rarely do I consider myself particularly righteous, but when I remember that Your Word says that I’ve been made righteous in Christ. So it’s not my righteousness that I’m counting on, but His. That is reassuring and exciting! Even in my prayers, as I walk in Christ’s righteousness, can be powerful and effective, right here and now!
May He bless us all.
