God can only deliver us from the things we confess, and we can only confess those things that we have allowed the Holy Spirit to reveal to us. As long as we deny their existence or refuse to identify them specifically, we condemn ourselves to a self-made purgatory. Come clean with God and He will set you free.
“If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.”
— 1 John 1:8-9 MSG
Lord Jesus, give us the courage to face the things we have so long denied. Hear our confession and deliver us. In Your holy name we pray.
