When I kept silent, my bones wasted way through my groaning all day long. Psalm 32:3
Hidden secrets cause us to literally waste away. It is as if our bodies betray us when we betray the One who made them. But confession has power that I may never understand. There is something about it that not only frees us spiritually, but physically.
Lord, there secrets I have hidden that once caused me to waste away. No longer! My secrets are no longer hidden; confession has brought me up from the pit. I have an opportunity before me - an opportunity to live in freedom and wholeness.
Help me to walk in repentance. Help me to never again hide in fear. You are my hiding place. Protect me from the unrighteousness that seeks to harm me.
