The Habit of Confession
Posted on July 18th, 2008 by Pastor Jeff in Daily Living, Prayer
“Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.†Matthew 6:11-12
Confession needs to be a regular thing in our Christian lives. In fact, Jesus implied in the prayer that He taught us that confession needs to be daily. The portion of the prayer above includes asking God the Father for our daily needs and then immediately follows asking forgiveness which implies that this should be a daily act. This is very similar to our bodily functions where we also need a daily colon cleanse. Spiritually, we also need daily cleansing of our sins, a good practice to keep our hearts always attuned to the Lord. When was your last confession to God?
