  6. The Importance of Community: How does being part of a faith community help us in our journey of confession and healing? What role can you play in supporting others in their struggles?

  7. Personal Application: In what areas of your life do you feel called to “tell it all” to Jesus? How can you take steps to be more open and honest in your relationship with Him?

I trust in Your goodness and mercy, knowing that You are always ready to embrace me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
