DAILY ENCOUNTER
3rd January 2025
THEME: CONFESSION
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything
according to his will, he hears us" (1 John 5:14)
Daniel goes from praise immediately into confession for his country. He is blunt as he proclaims,
“We have sinned.” He confesses their:
1. Iniquity
2. Wickedness
3. Rebellion
4. Ignoring of the prophets
5. Ignoring the Voice of God.
Confession doesn’t surprise God! He already knows everything about us. Confession helps us
realize who WE are and our need for change.
Prayer for Today
Thank you, Savior Jesus, Lord of All, You alone are
worthy of praise! I humble myself before You today and confess my sins, shortcomings and
failures. You know all about me; You formed me in the womb, and yet I realize my need to express
my wrongdoing. I was born in sin, sharpen in iniquity, but because of the cross, I can admit my
transgressions and bring them to You, knowing You hear and have compassion on me. I surrender
in repentance and turn to You, my Rock and Redeemer. Amen.
Shalom
