Summary

Today is the last day of May and the last day of our time in the book of James. James encourages us to pray and confess our sins to one another because there is healing in confession. When we acknowledge and take responsibility for our sin, it gets it out into the light. In the light, you will see that you are not alone and that God’s mercy is always enough.

0:54.9	go back and read the whole thing again in one setting. I'm just saying, okay, God, I'm setting the
0:59.7	podcast aside. What is the one thing you want me to personally take away from all this? And I would
1:05.7	encourage you to do the same. Well, James wraps it all up, talking about praying, how talking to God is not a last
