'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD'

Posted

I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity I have not hid. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5

Though every one of us is guilty of breaking God’s commandments in our thoughts, desires, words and deeds, what a blessing it is that we can acknowledge and confess our sins to the LORD God (instead of hiding them) and look to Him in faith for mercy and forgiveness for the sake of the atoning sacrifice of the Son, Jesus Christ, in our stead; and God forgives us!

I have broken Your commandments, O God. I am guilty and deserving of Your eternal wrath and punishment. Forgive my sins for Jesus’ sake and grant me a place in Your everlasting kingdom. Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the Revised Common Version of the Bible.]
