"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." - James 5:16 (NKJ)

This morning was a disaster... I struggled with the resentment I had towards a worker in my company. The resentment was very unreasonable because he's been my good help at the work place. He's hard working and very passionate for his job. Most of all, he's got a good impression of christians. I've been planning to bring him to christ. I even got people from my cell group to pray for him.

The resentment popped up just yesterday, and growing stronger and stronger this morning. At worst, no matter what he said and did sounded like humiliation to me. Eventually I said something rude to him... He looked puzzled... and I felt so confused about myself.

During lunch time, when he wasn't around, I called Dean. I confessed my struggle on the phone. Dean comforted me with Romans chapter eight. Immediately, the scripture anchored me in the stormy sea of emotions. My tears kept coming out while I was asking Dean to pray with me. All at a sudden, miracle happened. The resentment that had burdened me for so long went away just like "ding".

Oh, praise to the Lord! For He's my savior for all time. And His promises never fail.
