Saying the true thing out loud turns out to be the beginning of most healing in Scripture.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
"Confess Your Sins to One Another"
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
"If We Confess, He Is Faithful to Forgive"
He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
"Whoever Conceals Sin Will Not Prosper"
David kept silent and his bones wasted away. Then he confessed — and the crushing weight lifted. The joy of forgiveness, hard-won.

David's prayer after his greatest failure. The most raw, honest confession in Scripture.
