james chapter 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.

 good reminder from my Savior today and this also explains the approach to prayer I often have (which I have found to be fruitful) confessing, giving thanks, then supplication. it helps you put into perspective God's purposes and your own humanity.

 this is also an encouraging verse to me that I need to continually grow in the Lord to become a prayer warrior and one that He can entrust His good work. I do not think I am there at all yet but I need to strive to become closer to Him even now.
