A Prayer of Confession and Repentance

In today's prayer and devotional, Jaime Hampton, host of Praying Christian Women, guides listeners into the freeing practice of confession and repentance. Using Psalm 32, she illustrates the emotional and spiritual toll of unconfessed sin and the relief that comes when we bring our transgressions into the light. Jaime encourages regular confession, both to God and in a trusted Christian community, as a powerful path to healing and renewed purpose.

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 32:3–5 (NIV) – “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away... Then I acknowledged my sin… and you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
