The Prayer of Faith 13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,20remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.1 Peter Chapter 1 1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,2who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

Ephesians 3:16-19
Reading the Ephesians verses, I think that, I was saved as a little girl,
and that was kind of it. The home I grew up in didn't encourage spirtual
growth, and neither did the church I was in, for the most part. At least not
for a little kid. I was kind of just left on my own, spiritually. So, I
didn't grow, and get deeply rooted. Then, when I got to be a teenager, and
all of the stormy times...I kind of got beat down. I wasn't strong enough to
really stand, and really know and believe in my heart that I was really
loved by Him. I couldn't comprehend it.
Now, I feel like I'm being re-planted. And that the power that is at work
within me is able to do a much better job than what I could do in and of
myself. And I'm excited. Most of all, I'm hopeful.
Father, help me to feel your love. To know in my heart that you love me. I have often felt like an orphan, and I know that's been unnecessary. For you have always been there. I see that now. Help me to learn how to lean on you. Heal my heart, and help me to grow.

I know that I need to pray more, but I always fail to keep doing that. Maybe I dont really trust in the LORD as I thought.Actually, I have something unspoken,and I really dont know who to tell...

With the Social networking scene in full force. I think it is important to remember to confess our sins to people who will pray for you. Not on social networking sites for the world to see

Repent of your sins by telling your friends of your wrongs and pray to our Lord Jesus for them aswell yourself so you may experience supreme healing.

If we are righteous, we get answers to our prayers. We have to confess and forsake our sins for righteousness to dwell with us. This verse also tells us about one of the ways we can receive healing.

John Calvin writes in his Commentaries on the Catholic Epistles, "This passage, I know, is explained by many as referring to the reconciling of offenses; for they who wish to return to favor must necessarily know first their own faults and confess them. For hence it comes, that hatreds take root, yea, and increase and become irreconcilable, because every one perniciously defends his own cause. Many therefore think that James points out here the way of brotherly reconciliation, that is, by mutual acknowledgment of sins. But as it has been said, his object was different; for he connects mutual prayer with mutual confession; by which he intimates that confession avails for this end, that we may be helped as to God by the prayers of our brethren; for they who know our necessities, are stimulated to pray that they may assist us; but they to whom our diseases are unknown are more tardy to bring us help. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Wonderful, indeed, is the folly or the insincerity of the Papists, who strive to build their whispering confession on this passage. For it would be easy to infer from the words of James, that the priests alone ought to confess. For since a mutual, or to speak more plainly, a reciprocal confession is demanded here, no others are bidden to confess their own sins, but those who in their turn are fit to hear the confession of others; but this the priests claim for themselves alone. Then confession is required of them alone. But since their puerilities do not deserve a refutation, let the true and genuine explanation already given be deemed sufficient by us."

It's interesting how the prayer of a righteous man seems to be more valuable. Seems to suggest that there are differing degrees of prayer effectiveness.
