"Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned. Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer accuses of sin and who has no deceitful thoughts. When I kept silent {about my sins}, my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long. Day and night your hand lay heavily on me. My strength shriveled in the summer heat.
Selah.
I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt. I decided to confess them to you, O Lord. Then you forgave all my sins.
Selah.
For this reason let all godly people pray to you when you may be found."
Psalm 32:1-6a
"Confession is the act that brings sin out into the open and lets God take care of it." Eugene Peterson
