You need others to help you. This means coming out of isolation and secrecy. Confession is the beginning of opening up about the reality and truth of your life. Yes, sharing like this is hard and it is risky. Breaking the silence and speaking the truth about ourselves moves us out of the darkness and brings our secrets to light.
Confession requires openness, which requires vulnerability.
Confession involves trust in God and another person. For example, you may choose to be accountable to a mentor, friend, therapist, pastor, or spouse. If you aren't willing to own your problems and allow God to help you, you can't experience God in all His glory. Taking responsibility for our problems is essential and means that we remove ourselves from the victim role. God can use injustices, failures, and losses, as cornerstones for developing our character and helping us grow closer to Him.
