40 Days of Hope - Day 28

“You can’t repent of what you haven’t confessed, you can’t confess what you haven’t grieved, and you can’t grieve what you haven’t seen.” - Dr. Paul David Tripp

Taking Dr. Tripp’s statement backward:

  1. You’ve got see your sin for what it is. Then what comes is grief…

  2. Grieve your sin - You’ve got to grieve your sin. Be broken over it. Then it’s time to say the same thing about the sin as God does so you have to…

  3. Confess your sin. Put it in front of God asking Him to forgive (Which He does!) Then you…

  4. Repent of your sin. You turn away from it and walk away.

Sin is serious. It separates us from God and breaks our relationship with Him. These steps bring us back.

Prayer Focus:
ADORE God for his holiness
CONFESS how quickly you overlook or move past your sin
THANK God for making a way through Jesus back to relationship with Him
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God to let you see your sin the way that He does
SILENTLY reflect on Psalm 51, David’s Psalm of confession and repentance
