Psalm 38:18 (NRSV)
Read Psalm 38:18 on biblegateway.com
Verse 18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
Devotion
Like David, the writer of this psalm, we may confess our sin, confess our iniquity, confess our wrong doing, but the realities of what has happened continue to haunt and trouble us. We have a troubled spirit. Pain and scars often continue to plague us. These feelings are a reminder that we cannot deal with all the consequences – the love and grace of God must ultimately heal us and the results of our sin.
Prayer
Enable me to confess and repent of my sin, but help me trust your grace to bring ultimate healing to others as well as myself. Amen.
