Restoration
Confession is a fundamental aspect of personal growth and spiritual renewal. While admitting our wrongs is never easy, when we reach the point where the effects are unmistakable, when the result is broken things around us and a brokenness in our soul, confession is the only path toward transformation and, ultimately, healing.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Psalm 51 is a powerful passage that’s resonated in hearts for thousands of years because of its desperation, boldness, and brutal honesty. Many of us have been where David is, mired in a mess of our own making, and longing to go back to the beginning.
This prayer, paired with the metaphor of a broken piece of furniture being put back together, is an invitation into confession and our personal process of restoration. It’s a reminder that our brokenness can be mended through forgiveness.
