S – For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me. ¹⁸ So I confess my iniquity; I am anxious because of my sin.

Psalms 38:17–18 CSB

O – David is going through the pain and anxiety of sin which brings him to confession.

A – Sin feels good in the moment but the after affects are challenging.  Anxiety, pain, suffering, worry, guilt and shame can impact inwardly and externally.  Confession is when we tell God what we did and ask for forgiveness.  Freedom comes when we are forgiven and move in a different direction from the sin. 

R – Heavenly Father, you are our Savior.  Thank you for Jesus dying on the cross as payment for our sin.  In confessing our sin, you are “faithful and just” to forgive us.  We can walk in freedom because of the price you paid.  Help us to move in a different direction from our sin and live a life that brings glory to your name
