| WHY CONFESS IN PRAYER? | ||
| God desires us to confess. | ||
| Sin separates us from Him. Rom 3:23 | ||
| We please Him by our confession. | ||
| God gives us the opportunity. | ||
| WHAT GOD WANTS | ||
| The Lord wants to see true, meaningful repentance from humbled hearts. Matt 11:28-30 | ||
| He wants us to be specific in our prayer for the confession of sin, not generic. Daniel 9:4-19 | ||
| He wants us to acknowledge that we have sinned. Ps 32:6-7 | ||
| He wants us to know that He is ready to forgive. | ||
| Confessing our sins to one another, offers us accountability, allowing us to pray effectively for each other. James 5:16. |
