Prayer: Admission
(inspired by Psalm 32)
Lord,
I crossed a line I never thought I would.
I
made a choice I never thought I could.
I
messed up–big time.
Then,
regretful and remorseful, I hid my crime.
I
determined to not come clean.
My
lips and tongue would not confess what my heart and hands had
done.
But
the tighter my lips grew, the more toxic the guilt became.
The
deader my tongue, the deader my whole being.
The
secret became a burden I could not bear.
Thus,
fearful and frustrated, I admitted my crime.
I
confessed my deed.
I
owned up to every despicable detail.
And
you forgave.
You
did not hold it against me.
Rather
than sentence me, you saved me.
And
now, I rejoice. I sing. My heart is glad.
