David's Prayer of Confession and Repentance
May 25, 2025 • Monty Watson
Psalm 51 is David’s prayer of confession and repentance. Walking with God requires the daily acknowledgment that we still sin and need to ask God for forgiveness. When we’re slow to recognize this, God’s disciplines us. The Holy Spirit convicts us and makes us feel the weight of what we have done. The lesson David learned, and the lesson we must learn, is that our Father’s discipline and our Father’s love are the same thing. Receiving one is the same as receiving the other.
