A painful task !!
Prayer of repentance is difficult. Sins that we refuse to confess or acknowledge is a barrier between us and God. It is painful to admit our bad attitudes, destructive behaviour and wrong reactions to God. But God has promised and we have a guarantee that regardless of the deeds we have done, if we confess, HE will forgive.
Psalm 66 : 18
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened
Proverbs 28 : 13
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy
1 John 1 : 9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness
