“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” 

(James 5:16)

 

 

Why we don’t want to bail out at step 5

 

1. ______________________________________________.

“All have sinned….yet God declares us ‘not guilty’ … if we trust in Jesus Christ, who freely takes away our sins” (Romans 3:23–24, TLB)

 

2. _________________________________.

 

 

3. _________________________________________.

“There was a time when I wouldn’t admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration.… My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, ‘I will confess them to the Lord.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” (Psalm 32:3–5, TLB) 

 

4. _________________________________.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and fail to notice the plank in your own?  How can you say to your brother, “Let me get the speck out of your eye,” when there is a plank in your own?  Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you can see clearly enough to remove your brother’s speck of dust.”  (Matthew 7:3)

 

5. ________________________________________________________________.

“If we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done.”  (1 John 1:9)

 

 

6. _________________________________________.

Therefore Confess your sins for each other and pray for each other and you may be healed. (James 5:16)

What is Choose Recovery? We are a group of people who freely admit that we struggle with addictions, afflictions, and compulsive behaviors, who gather together to choose recovery through a growing trust in Jesus who guides us to freedom by following a simple recovery path. No matter where you have been or what you have done, you are welcome here. Together we can find new purpose and joy as we choose recovery.
