Exercises for examining yourself truthfully and confessing your sin humbly.

The cause of most conflict is sin. The remedy is confession. Confession requires brokenness and courage — the humility to see yourself truthfully, as God sees you, and the courage to confess your sin completely, to God and all those you have offended.

Scripture exhorts us to examine the “log” in our own eye before we try to take the speck out of our brother’s eye. (Matthew 6:1-5) To examine your part in whatever conflict you are facing, we invite you to prayerfully complete the two exercises on following pages. Before each exercise, we recommend that you pray, inviting the Holy Spirit to bring clarity of mind, conviction of sin and comfort in healing.
