Renewal

How can I experience renewal in my life?

God’s Response

When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. . . . Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Psalm 32:3-5

One of the first important steps toward renewal is confession, which means being humbly honest with God and sincerely sorry for your sins —the ones you know about and the ones you are unaware of. Confession restores your relationship with God, and this renews your strength and spirit. When you repent, God removes your guilt, restores your joy, and heals your broken soul. A heart that truly longs for change is ready for the renewal that only God’s Spirit can bring.

God’s Promise

Turn from your sins and turn to God, so you can be cleansed of your sins. Acts 3:19
