There is a book I have been reading called "The Godly Man's Picture". It is part of the Puritan Paperbacks written by Thomas Watson. Anyways, it goes through different characteristics which are evident in godly individuals. I wanted to share a little excerpt discussing the confession of sin.
"...a child of God will confess sin in particular. An unsound Christian will confess sin wholesale, he will acknowledge he is a sinner in general, whereas David does, as it were, point with his finger to the sore: 'I have done this evil' (Psa. 51:4). He does not say, 'I have done evil', but 'this evil'. He points at his blood guiltiness."
Let us not come before the Lord's throne and be vague and general about any sin in our lives nor with a "let me rush through this prayer" kind of attitude. May we constantly come before the Lord in prayer and be raw and real with Him in regards to our sin and be thankful and praise Him for His forgiveness.
