Scripture for a snow day

19Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.

20For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.


Matthew 18:19-20

I love these couple of verses. I'm reading a new book that I actually got for Christmas LAST year. It's called wrestling prayer.


I haven't gotten too far yet, but so far it's about how very powerful prayer is and how there is real power in it for those who have faith in Jesus. :)

It also lists James 5:16 and I love it in the amplified version:

16Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

It doesn't say...IF you should slip up or sin or IF you have faults...it says to confess these things..because it happens to ALL of us.
The wording of this verse was reassuring to me. :)
