Dear Sis, praise God for your humility to see and confess what was not pleasing to God. This is the first step to improvement. And there is healing in confessing to one another.
“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
Jesus, your Redeemer who lives, redeems you not only from your failures but from this pain —- your temporary season of training. May He give you the endurance and perseverance that no pain be wasted but rather each tear will beat fruit of righteousness and peace.
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.” Psalms 103:2-6 NIV
CONFESS
“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

PRESS ON TOWARDS JESUS
