"O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you." Psalm 69:5
Have you ever tried to put up a false front before God? Do you think God doesn't know everything going on in your life - even your thoughts?
When it comes to praying, we realizing that it is an intimate conversation with God. It is the avenue by which we can talk very openly to God about whatever is on our minds.
It's interesting here in this verse that the psalmist acknowledges that his life is like an open book before God. God knows every page of his life. He feels confident to have a safe conversation with his Creator.
Especially in this season of Lent as we pray, I would hope that we can be transparent about our own sin. We can know that as God is aware of our shortcomings we can also find forgiveness. Moreover, we can find that strength that can help us to overcome sin and renew our living!
