Confessing Sin in Prayer As an Act of Worship (1John 1:9 Prayer Devotional)

Prayer is an act of worship in which we call upon God in Christ, laying hold of Him as He has revealed Himself in His Word. This Scripture teaches us that, in confessing our sins, we lay hold of and magnify the perfections of His faithfulness and justice, especially in the actions of His forgiving (justification) and cleansing (sanctification) sinners.
