Encouraging one another

God, I don’t want to face my challenges alone. I’ve made mistakes in the past and—to move forward—I know I need help from others. Please give me the courage to confess my sin to trusted people. Surround me with a community who’s willing to hear my struggles, pray with me, and encourage me to live more like You. Help me to also be there for others in their time of need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
