Confess, pray, be healed. Prayer is powerful. The first Christians knew this, but these days one gets the feeling that many Christians don't. For one thing, few churches seem to have the kind of close relationships where people share on a deeper level and pray for each other outside of meetings. Also, we don't share oneanother's burdens, we hide them, pretend everything is fine. Carrying things inside us, on our own, does not bring healing. It can bring mental and physical problems, and it does block our spirit which is meant to be free, so we can truly hear God and be channels of his power and love.
God will help us change this, if we let him.
