Judgements.
Sometimes I wish people weren't so judgemental.
Maybe then people wouldn't feel so pressured to attain perfection,
to lie
to keep secrets,
to hide their struggles,
to act like they've got it all together.
But then I asked mysef why.
Why was I so afraid of judgement from others?
Why am I so concerned about my image?
Why do I care so much about what others think of me?
Why.
Is it worth it?
Judgement from people vs. Judgement from God
The former seems way too insignificant in comparision to the latter..
Yet why do I constantly find myself striving towards pleasing people more than pleasing God?
As if that even matters..
Sigh.

James 5
The Prayer of Faith
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
