SUMMARY:Part 4 - The Joy of Confession
DESCRIPTION:“Oh\, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven\, whose sin is put out of sight! When I refused to confess my sin\, my body wasted away\, and I groaned all day long. Finally\, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself\, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Therefore\, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time…” (taken from Psalm 32:1-6) \n\nWe are now doing video intros for the Prayer Guide!
