Humbly Profess your Sorrow and Shame for Sin

Confession 2.20 | KJV

I must humbly profess my sorrow and shame for sin, and humbly engage myself in the strength of divine grace, that I will be better and do better for the future.

Lord, I repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, Matthew 3:2(KJV) to which thou hast exalted thy Son Christ Jesus, to give repentance and remission of sins. Acts 5:31(KJV)

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eyes see thee; wherefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes; Job 42:5-6(KJV) therefore will I be like a dove of the valley, mourning for my iniquities. Ezekiel 7:16(KJV)

O that my head were waters, and my eyes fountains of tears, that I might weep day and night for my transgressions, Jeremiah 9:1(KJV) and might in such a manner sow in those tears as that at last I may reap in joy; may now go forth weeping, bearing precious seed, and may in due time come again with rejoicing, bringing in my sheaves with me. Psalm 126:5-6(KJV)

My iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me; Psalm 38:4(KJV) but weary and heavy laden under this burden, I come to Christ, who has promised that in him I shall find rest to my soul. Matthew 11:28(KJV)

O knowing the plague of my own heart, 1 Kings 8:38(KJV) may I look unto him whom I have pierced, and may I mourn and be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for a first-born. Zechariah 12:10(KJV) That I may sorrow after a godly sort, with that sorrow which worketh repentance unto salvation, not to be repented of; 2 Corinthians 7:10(KJV) and that I may remember and be confounded and never open my mouth any more because of my shame, when thou art pacified toward me. Ezekiel 16:63(KJV)

And, O that I may bring forth fruits meet for repentance! Matthew 3:8(KJV) and may never return again to folly; Psalm 85:8(KJV) for what have I to do any more with idols? Hosea 14:8(KJV) Sin shall not have dominion over me, for I am not under the law but under grace. Romans 6:14(KJV)

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 119:176(KJV)

Give Glory to God for His Patience and Willingness to be Reconciled

Confession 2.19 | KJV

I must give to God the glory of his patience and long-suffering towards me and his willingness to be reconciled.

O the riches of the patience and forbearance of God! Romans 2:4(KJV) How long-suffering is he towards me, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9(KJV)

Thou hast not dealt with me according to my sin, nor rewarded me after my iniquities, Psalm 103:10(KJV) but thou waitest to be gracious to me. Isaiah 30:18(KJV)

Sentence against my evil works has not been executed speedily, Ecclesiastes 8:11(KJV) but thou hast given me space to repent and make my peace with thee, Revelation 2:21(KJV) and callest even backsliding children, such as myself, to return to thee and hast promised to heal my backslidings; and therefore, behold I come unto thee, for thou art the Lord my God. Jeremiah 3:22(KJV)

Surely the long-suffering of my Lord is salvation; 2 Peter 3:15(KJV) and if the Lord had been pleased to kill me, he would not as at this time have showed me such things as these. Judges 13:23(KJV)

And O that this goodness of God might lead me to repentance! Romans 2:4(KJV) For though I have trespassed against my God, yet now there is hope for me in Israel concerning this thing. Ezra 10:2(KJV)

Thou hast said it and hast confirmed it with an oath, that thou hast no pleasure in the death of sinners like me, but rather desire that I should turn and live. Ezekiel 33:11(KJV) Therefore will I rend my heart, and not my garment, and turn to the Lord my God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness. Who knows if he will return and repent and leave a blessing behind him? Joel 2:13-14(KJV)

Understand the Condemning Nature of your Sin

Confession 2.18 | KJV

I must judge and condemn myself for my sins, and own myself liable to punishment.

And now, O my God, what shall I say after this, for I have forsaken thy commandments? Ezra 9:10(KJV) I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of man? Job 7:20(KJV)

I know that the law curseth every one that continues not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them; Galatians 3:10(KJV) that the wages of every sin is death; Romans 6:23(KJV) and that for these things’ sake the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6(KJV)

And I am guilty before God; Romans 3:19(KJV) the Scripture hath concluded me under sin; Galatians 3:22(KJV) and therefore thou mightest justly be angry with me, till thou hadst consumed me, so that I should neither be of your remnant nor able to escape. Ezra 9:14(KJV)

If thou shouldest lay righteousness to the line and judgment to the plummet, Isaiah 28:17(KJV) thou mightest justly separate me unto all evil, according to all the curses of the covenant, and blot out my name from under heaven. Deuteronomy 29:20(KJV)

Thou mightest justly swear in thy wrath that I should never enter into thy rest; Psalm 95:11(KJV) mightest justly set me naked and bare, Hosea 2:3(KJV) and take away my corn in the season thereof, Hosea 2:9(KJV) and put into my hands the cup of trembling, and make me drink even the dregs of that cup. Isaiah 51:17(KJV)

Thou art just in whatever thou art pleased to lay upon me; for thou hast done right, but I have done wickedly. Nehemiah 9:33(KJV) Nay, that my God has punished me less than my iniquities have deserved. Ezra 9:13(KJV)

Thou therefore shalt be justified when thou speakest and clear when thou judgest; Psalm 51:4(KJV) and I will accept of the punishment of my iniquity, Leviticus 26:43(KJV) and humble myself under thy mighty hand, 1 Peter 5:6(KJV) and say, The Lord is righteous. 2 Chronicles 12:6(KJV)

Wherefore should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Lamentations 3:39(KJV) No, I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him. Micah 7:9(KJV)
