Translations:TC 9: How to Pray/33/en

Confession. For the Christian who seeks fellowship with God, prayer needs to begin with confession on the basis of Psalm 66:18:  “If I regard wickedness in my heart, the Lord will not hear.”  Isaiah 59:2 reminds us, “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.”  Confessing our sin prepares the heart for thanksgiving and supplication.
