The Prayer of a Righteous Man

Scripture: James 5: [16] Therefore 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.

Observation: How righteous am I? I know the things that I do and the thoughts that I have and they do not seem very righteous at times. I pray each day yet how sincere, there isn’t a time that my mind doesn’t wander and think of the things of this world. I do need a healing, a healing of my spirit so it is broken before God that I may be the righteous man God calls me to be.

Application: To practice being righteous. To be aware of what I’m doing and saying at all times to see if they match up to the actions of a righteous man. To honestly pray to God with love in my heart in a humble spirit and pray for the things of God and not me.

Prayer: Dear Lord make me a righteous man. A man that honors you in all that he does. Humble me before you so that I may see only the things of you and not me.
