  9. Specific struggles

    Envy and comparison: confessing the sin nobody admits

    Envy is resenting someone else's good. It is quiet, respectable and corrosive. Here is how to recognise it, confess it honestly to God, and learn the contentment that comes from belonging to him.

  10. Forgiveness

    Forgiving yourself — what the Bible actually says

    The Bible never tells you to forgive yourself. It tells you something better: God is the judge, and if he has forgiven you, your task is to agree with his verdict. Here is what that looks like.

  11. Forgiveness

    Forgiving someone who never apologised

    You can forgive someone who has never said sorry, and Jesus calls his followers to. But forgiving them is not the same as excusing them, trusting them or going back. Here is the difference.

  18. Specific struggles

    Pride: the sin that hides the others

    Pride rarely looks like arrogance. More often it is the quiet refusal to be seen as someone who needs grace. How to recognise it, confess it and grow in the humility Christ showed.

  19. Confessing

    Psalm 51 — David's confession, line by line

    Psalm 51 is the prayer David made after his adultery and a murder were exposed. Read slowly, it shows how to confess, what to ask for, and what God will not refuse. A section-by-section reading.

  20. Shame and guilt

    Shame from things done to you

    Being abused, assaulted or mistreated is not your sin and needs no confession. Here is what Scripture says to people carrying shame that belongs to someone else, and where to find safety and help.

  21. Shame and guilt

    Starting again

    After a serious failure it can feel as if your life with God is over. It is not. Scripture is full of people who began again, and it shows how: honestly, humbly, and one ordinary day at a time.

  22. Shame and guilt

  23. Forgiveness

    The unforgivable sin — what Jesus meant

    Jesus warned that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Read in context, it is not a careless word or a terrible thought. It is a hardened refusal of God. If you fear you have done it, you have not.

  26. Forgiveness
