In Christ Alone
When we come to God in prayer, it is of the utmost importance that we confess ourselves before Him. This is so important as we head into the time of year that we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. Most of us think of confession as just admitting something wrong, but confession goes much deeper than that.
Confession is, first and foremost, about agreement. Confession begins when we come to God and say to Him that we are not right in our heart and we want to be like Him. It’s not about listing our sins. It’s about being on the same page with Him.
The prayer of confession starts with the word, “You” before we get to “me.” We acknowledge the greatness of God first and then we confess the weakness of man. A great place to start is by reading Psalm 29, focusing on God’s glory and strength and what He is due. Follow that with a hymn.
Not just any hymn. A hymn that exalts God and makes His complete and perfect nature clear and unmistakable. A hymn that tells God that He, and He alone, is worthy. Such a hymn is the song by Getty and Townsend called “In Christ Alone.”
In Christ Alone celebrates the greatness of who God is and what He has done. He is hope, light, strength and solid ground. He is comfort in drought and storm; peace and love in our strife and fears.
He is God in flesh who burst forth from the grave in victory over sin! He gives us power over Hell and all mankind. All this is found in Christ alone.
Now, your heart is ready for prayer. You can pray your prayer of confession with an open heart to the God who cares.
