Confess your faults to a trusted person

Search the Scriptures

Whatever is hidden, we will be able to see it. Whatever is secret, we will be able to know it, and it will appear in full light. Luke 8.17 Word of Life Version

Why do we never talk about our faults and our weaknesses ? Why don't we want to let these things come to light ? Because we are afraid of what people might think. We fear being rejected, misunderstood, or no longer being loved by the people who matter to us. Or even that they have a less good opinion of us if they really know us. Yet confessing our faults is important for our emotional healing.

The Bible says that all hidden things will one day be revealed, so we might as well share our hurts and weaknesses with people we trust today. When I finally found the courage to tell someone about the abuse in my past, it was extremely difficult emotionally. But today, when I talk about it, it’s like they’re someone else’s problems. Confessing the pain and weaknesses that were in my life brought me healing and restoration.

Pray and ask God to show you who you can trust, then make the decision to open up and be honest with that person. As you share your challenges with each other, you will bring healing into your lives.

Listen the voice of God

Do you have any hurts or secrets that you would like to share with someone you trust ? Let God show you where to go to pray and open your heart.

Here is an example of a prayer you can bring to God : "Holy Spirit, show me to whom I can share my faults, my weaknesses and my hurts. I want to welcome complete healing into my life and see in action. I also desire to be an instrument of healing for this person. Amen."

Praise God

The Lord is always with you. He wants to give you trusted people with whom to pray and share your joys and difficulties. Thank Him with all your heart for what He has already healed and released into your life, and for all that He will still lovingly accomplish for you.

Take action today

Now how are you going to apply what God has told you ? Decide today to no longer be alone with what hurts you. Listen to God in order to be guided to the trustworthy person who will welcome you. Don't be afraid, dare to free yourself in front of her and in front of him.

Honor the Lord

Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Thank you, Lord, for you want to free me from my hidden wounds and my past. Yours be the kingdom, the power and the glory, amen !"
