I Have Sinned

Jeremiah 14:20
We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers:
for we have sinned against thee.

What could happen if we just called it like it is? What if we would just come out and declare that we have sinned? Well a few words come to my mind...grace, forgiveness, salvation, healing, repair, restoration, mercy and praise. This is the short list.

God can, and always will, do great things when we acknowledge our sins unto Him. His word says if we hide or cover our sins that we will not be blessed or prosper. If we confess them, then He will hear us and forgive us. This seems very simple to me. Do not keep confession from God and always acknowldge your sins. Acknowledging your sin is defined as recognizing it or taking notice of it.

Today, will you pray with me a prayer I often pray? Father, please hear me as I ask you something today. Will you please show me my sins? I acknowledge that I have sinned against you Lord. I know that it is wickedness and sinful. Please forgive me of my sins. Forgive me O, Lord, remove my sins and cast them far from me. I am sorry that I disobeyed. I love you Lord. It's in Jesus' name I pray...Amen
