confession is a daily job in prayer and communication with the lord . he forgives us but he ask us to come to him and others ,to share our burdens ,and sins in our life ,i am reminded when i confess of the cross and why he died for me to take my everyday sins . its like for me a garden of weeds if i dont pull them out daily they grow deep and they are so hard to pull out , like sin i like to confront it daily while its new before it grows ,confess it to another christian have them pray for me and be renewed daily ,and to do the same for others
