James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.<\/p>\n

If there is one thing we can do in our relationship with God, it is to be real. He knows us deeply and we cannot pretend with Him.<\/p>\n

The next thing is to be real with our brothers and sisters in Christ.<\/p>\n

If we are going through things, it’s good to be prayerful about it. But we don’t need to hide what is happening.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be real with ourselves and with others, and share as God leads us.<\/p>\n

Many times, as I have shared something personal that was very heavy on me, the person I was speaking to would say something to encourage or advise me.<\/p>\n

What a huge help it was.<\/p>\n

If we don’t open up and talk about these things, we will probably always be in the same place, struggling with the thing that weighs so heavy on us.<\/p>\n

But through speaking about it, we can get insight and help from others. Yes, that means we have to bring it up and speak of it.<\/p>\n

Can we be real with each other without people thinking we are being negative?<\/p>\n

If we can\u2019t talk to fellow children of God about real life things happening in our lives, we\u2019re in trouble.<\/p>\n

As believers let us not fail in this area. Let us be mature enough to admit when we need help; when we need to share our problems with others.<\/p>\n

Being a Christian does not mean life is going to always be pretty.<\/p>\n

Let us get real! Get real with God, get real with each other. We are not fooling anyone. God can see our struggles.<\/p>\n

Prayer is what will help us all. But if we don\u2019t open up and confess, admit, acknowledge or declare to one another what is wrong, how can we pray and help each other? How can we know what others are going through if we are afraid to share?<\/p>\n

Stop pretending. And know that it\u2019s OK to talk about our problem, sin or any other issues we may be having. Don\u2019t let others make us feel like we are a bad Christian if we have something going on.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
