Back to the Basics Devo Day 24 - August 24

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS means simply meditating on God’s Word, so let’s prayerfully reflect on James chapter 5. Let’s ZOOM INTO Verse 12 – 18. 

From the text, write your answers to the following questions: 

• What do we learn about honest communication? V.13 ________________________.
• What should be your response if you're suffering? __________Cheerful? ___________or sick? V.14 _____________________________________________________________
• What promise do we find about the power & effectiveness of prayer? V.16 ________
• Who is a good example of bold, believing prayer? V.17 _____________________ Pray to become more like him.

Commit to memory (write down on a sticky note to place on your bathroom mirror) V. 16 – “ Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.”

• This verse speaks to the power of an apology, for when you “mess up,” you are to _____ up. (fess). 
• In your next conflict, ‘do this verse’ by offering a sincere apology. 
• Avoid using “I’m sorry;” 
• Try the phrase: “It was wrong of me to _________________; I can see how that hurt you by ____________________. Would you forgive me?”
