Confession

Read Psalm 51. Use these questions to help you consider the spiritual rhythm of confession this week, individually and with others.

• How does the psalmist King David describe his sin and its effects?

• How does David appeal to God’s character for help? How does he pray for forgiveness and cleansing?

• Where does joy and praise come from in this passage?

• What would it sound like to put this psalm in your own words? Following David’s example, take some time to write a prayer of confession.

• How did you sense God working as you confessed and prayed?
