1 John 1:9 says: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Sin hinders our life in every way: spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and even physically. Thankfully, the Lord has provided a way to bridge the distance between Him and us through confession. Confession is the first step toward healing in our lives, in our relationships with others, and most importantly, in our relationship with God Himself. Take this time to ask God to examine your innermost thoughts. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you through a time of confession. Prayers of confession are personal and vulnerable. Be honest with the Lord. Set your pride aside and experience a renewed sense of freedom. Freely lay yourself at His feet, for He is the God of restoration and healing.
PRAYER PROMPT: CONFESSION
- Quiet your heart, and in the stillness ask God to bring anything to mind that is keeping you from open fellowship with Him.
- Ask Him to show you what is grieving Him in your life at the moment.
- Confess this shortcoming to Him and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you from the depths of your heart.
- Ask that God will meet you in your shortcomings and weaknesses so you can claim afresh His cleansing with His blood and righteousness.
- Thank God for His work on the cross and His forgiveness for all your sins.
