Here again we see that we are supposed to confess our sins to each other and then pray together. Praying together to seek forgiveness or just simply praying with someone bonds people. Accountability is not only sharing your failures with each other, but then praying for and with each other. This may be awkward at first, but, again, it’s biblical.

• When was the last time you prayed with a friend, not during Table Groups or with your family at the dinner table?

Friends should be those with whom we do spiritual things, such as praying together. Prayer is such a huge part of our relationship with God that it should bleed over into our relationships with others. If you look at the early church, praying together was one of the things they did all the time. That’s what bonded them together and helped them show love for each other. Our friendships should be no different. If you don’t have a friend for a prayer partner, consider who that friend may be and begin this process.
