I Acknowledged My Sin To You

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one

whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night

your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.

Psalm 32:1-6

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

Sometimes the burdens in our lives involve a heaviness in spirit.

The burden that weighs us down may be one of guilt such as the one that consumed David’s thoughts. Jesus has invited us to bring them all to Him.

We are not built to bear burdens alone. When we cast them on the One who wants to bear our burdens, He replaces them with forgiveness, healing, and restoration.

Burden God with what burdens you.
