DAY 5 OF 14 · Prayer and communion
Confession and Cleansing
Confession agrees with God about sin and receives the cleansing only He can give.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Psalm 51:1–12
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
David does not excuse, rename, or compare his sin. He appeals to mercy, asks for inward truth, and seeks a restored heart—not merely relief from consequences.
Reflect
Is there anything I have explained away that I need to confess plainly?
Respond
Confess specifically to God and, where appropriate, take a step toward repair.
Pray
Merciful God, wash me thoroughly, create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.
