What Unconfessed Sin Does to You

Why do you feel far from God? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues walking through the Lord’s Prayer and the phrase, “Forgive us our debts,” showing how confession restores the flow of relationship with God. Unconfessed sin does not mean you have lost your salvation. But it can block the practical flow of fellowship, peace, joy, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in your life. Like a clogged drain, sin can build up over time until you feel spiritually stuck, discontent, distracted, or distant from God. The good news is that repentance is not self-punishment. It is returning to the Father. When we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If your prayer life feels blocked or your heart feels far from God, let this line from the Lord’s Prayer lead you back into confession, cleansing, and restored relationship with Him.
