In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Heaven understands our predicament.
Confession gets heaven involved in salvaging our lives.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. It is hard to approach God s throne with confidence when we refuse to acknowledge our sin. There are so many who are willing to shift blame. When we confess our sins it is because we have recognized the light Jesus shines into our hearts. It is essential that we allow the light to expose the sin in our hearts and begin walking in the light.
