Passage: James 5:16* Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Questions 1. What actions does this verse specifically tell Christians they are to take?   2. What does the verse say will be the result of such action?   3. If you're stuck in the Internet porn trap and want to get out, what would James 5:16 tell you about how to be free?   Practical help God has given prayer as a powerful tool to foster in our lives. Another powerful tool is a deep relationship with another brother. When they are put together, the Lord works miracles! Chronic, obsessive involvement with pornography may seem to be a problem that is "here to stay" in your life — but it need not be. If you want freedom, though, both tools mentioned in James 5:16 must be put to use. James would counsel you to turn to the Lord in dependent, fervent prayer and turn to a brother in honest confession of your continuing problem with pornography. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
