Spiritual Warfare: 'Prayer and Confession Produces Wonderful Results'

God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, June 28, 2026

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
— James 5:16 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, this is another promise from Your Holy Word that I have discounted and overlooked. Please forgive me for minimizing the importance of confession combined with fervent prayer. Remind me that obedience in this produces healing power and wonderful results. Open my mind to accept this and open my eyes to see it fulfilled. Grant me a heart willing to confess my sins and pray in faith with all my heart so that the healing I so desperately need can come. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
