James 5:16 (KJV) - "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.”

1 John 1:7-9 (KJV) - “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another... If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins…”

Matthew 5:23-24 (KJV) - “First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”

Proverbs 28:13 (KJV) - “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”

The Bible teaches that we should confess our sins to each other and I am terribly troubled about something and trying to find a way to make amends so I'm going to give it a try and pray that He will bring us peace and healing.

A few days ago, I was terribly unkind to someone I love. I had my own reasons which seemed justifiable at the time but upon reflection I was wrong. I didn't mean to hurt anyone but I did so and I made a big mess of things. Now I find myself seemingly unable to repair things or regain their confidence and I feel so sad and guilty for my actions and how they have affected others who deserved better. I don't know which is worse - not having them in my life or knowing I've caused them pain. It is almost unbearable. I am so sorry and I repent for my actions and pray and humbly beg for forgiveness.

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

That's all I've got for now. Prayers are welcome though I probably don't deserve them.

In Christ,

I’m not entirely sure what to say about this.

Isn’t the standard confession during the Sunday liturgy to the priest already sufficient? Unless there are specific things we need to acknowledge—like being late to a meeting or letting someone down—then of course, admitting our mistake is appropriate.

I just hope this isn’t something serious involving family, close friends, or relatives. It almost sounds like a breakup or something along those lines to me.​
