He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,This is a rather tough verse for me. My default is to keep things bottled up. It's not someone else's fault that I mess up. It's not their problem when I sin; that's between me and God. And besides, even if I were to confess, they wouldn't understand; they'd just ridicule me, or at least look at me different from then on.
But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
This verse says that's not true. I admit I wonder if this is how it's supposed to be, but not how it is? Or is it just my pride, or fear, that keeps me from talking about my failures? Something for me to pray about more.
