Could it be that the reason we too often feel disconnected from God is that we too often disregard the simple and profound truth that confession breeds connection?
(3) Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. (4) And I prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments, (5) we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. (6) Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land..."
-- Daniel 9:3-6 (NKJV)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
Grateful

Almighty God, we confess that we are in bondage
to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned
against you in thought, word, and deed, by what
we have done and by what we have left undone.
Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may
delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the
glory of your holy name. Amen.

Turn us from sinning -- let our desire be for You alone, not sin as well. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Confession Breed Connection...
Unity with God...
Community with His people.
Amen.
Indeed!
