So admit your broken ways one to another and pray for each other that you may be healed. The prayer of one in good standing with Creator is powerful and good medicine.

James (He leads the way to the Scattered Tribes) 5:16 FNVNT

James is encouraging his readers to be open, to trust each other with where we are broken, because healing comes in community. 

Let's start here: we are all human, the places of our hurt and broken ways happen in community, and that is where healing has the opprtunity to happen (not necessarily the same community as some people are not good for us, safe for us, or helpful, so we still need to be wise about where we find community).

We need one another, and we need those who's connection with our God, their faith, is strong.

We need to be able to lean in, and at times, to be the strong one who others can lean into, and in that leaning in, find again the God who loves, who redeems, who heals, who is Hope.
