Reading: Psalm 32:1-5; Psalm 51:1-12

Devotional: David understood the crushing weight of unresolved guilt. After his sin with Bathsheba, he wrote, "When I kept silent, my bones wasted away" (Psalm 32:3). Guilt that goes unaddressed doesn't just affect us spiritually—it impacts us physically, emotionally, and relationally.

Like Adam and Eve, we try to cover ourselves, presenting a carefully curated image to others while concealing our true struggles. We wear masks, hoping no one will see the real us. But this exhausting performance only deepens our isolation. The enemy wants you immobilized by guilt, replaying your failures on an endless loop. But notice what happened when David finally confessed: "Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity...and you forgave the guilt of my sin" (Psalm 32:5).

Freedom begins with honesty. Stop covering. Stop concealing. Start confessing.

Reflection: What mask are you wearing? What would it look like to be truly transparent before God today?
