Why are we called to confess to the Lord if he already knows our thoughts? In today’s episode, faithful Watermark member T.J. Detwiler and Emma Dotter talk about how confessing our sins to God instills humility, repentance, and an open heart in us towards God. Since God knows everything, acknowledging our sin and no longer trying to hide it allows God to pour His mercy, forgiveness, and healing upon us. 
 
 Additional Scripture mentioned in the episode:
 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
 Genesis 3, where God covers the sins of Adam and Eve because they cannot cover their own sins
