godly man who does his will. (John 9:31 NIV)

On the next page you’ll find a topical index that will link you to Bible verses and questions that may assist you with
identifying your sins. After selecting a passage, read through the verse slowly and ask God to bring to your mind anything that is not pleasing to Him. Or pray this prayer:
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting. (NIV) Psalm 139:23-24

Be honest. Remember, to confess, means to agree with. . . name your sins, and agree with God that they are sins. And claim 1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (NIV)
