He Alone Is The One To Whom We Confess Our Sins

 This call to confession is not a summons to the confessional box where a 'priest' becomes a middleman between us and God, there is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus. He Alone Is The One To Whom We Confess Our Sins. This is not a call to expose our secret sins to the whole wide world, we are to confess our sins to God and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 When we have wronged another person we are called to go to them quickly and admit our sin and seek their forgiveness, this is the will of God for us. We are also called to willingly, graciously, and fervently pray for each other, as we lift up those who may have wronged us to the Lord in prayer, the fellowship of His love will stream into our hearts and minds, removing any nagging bitterness or residue of unforgiveness.
 We are called to be holy for God is holy, but it is only as we confess our sins to one another and to our Father in heaven, that fellowship is renewed and our prayers become effective.
James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we desire to maintain fellowship with You and to walk godly in Christ Jesus. Help us to recognize our faults and quickly seek Your forgiveness. Help us also to confess our faults to those we have wronged, and we pray that we may maintain attitudes of prayer and learn to pray fervently in spirit and truth so that in Christ our prayers may be effective and avail much, to Your honor and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
