I hear the Lord say:

It is good and right to confess your sin and humble yourself before Me.  It is important to acknowledge your sin and confess it in order to re-align yourself with My truth and My goodness. Don’t berate yourself repeatedly.  That is like the flogging the penitent did in medieval times. It’s unnecessary to whip yourself to receive mercy or demonstrate your sorrow. Confess, repent, receive forgiveness and be done with it.  I wait for you with open arms.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I John 1:9  ESV
