In the first of his Ninety-Five Theses, Martin Luther wrote that the entire Christian life is to be one of repentance. Our fickle hearts, lusts, impatience in times of waiting, lack of humility, resistance to reconciliation, fear—God wants us to talk to Him often about our deepest needs! How do we respond to the Bible’s calls to confess our struggles with sin?
