Why is it so hard to say, “I’m sorry”?
In week three of Pray First... and Always, we continue through four simple prayers: Help, Thanks, Sorry, and Wow. This week, we look at SORRY and discover how confession can move us out of hiding and into the freedom, forgiveness, and healing God offers us.
Pride, fear, justification, and shame can all keep us from being honest about the places where we’ve fallen short. But 1 John 1 reminds us that we don’t have to hide in darkness. When we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us.
Confession means calling sin what God calls it, walking honestly with God and trusted people, and regularly turning back toward Jesus. We aren’t confessing to earn salvation again and again. We confess because we are already forgiven, and confession becomes a regular practice that cleanses our souls as we follow Jesus.
There is mercy waiting on the other side of confession. Instead of hiding, justifying, or carrying our struggles alone, we can walk in the light and receive the grace God has already made available to us through Jesus.
