The Prayer of Faith

Is anyone among you suffering?  He should pray. 

Is anyone happy?  Let him sing songs of praise. 

Is 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.  And 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.  Therefore, confess your sins to each another and pray for each other so hat you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.    James 5:13-16

Prayer of Confession

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In Your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways, to the glory of Your holy name. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen
