My transgressions3
Psalm 32:5

As we examine David’s interaction with God after he had sinned with uriah’s wife Bathsheba the spirit of God is teaching you and I something today thousands of years after the events of David’s experience. David said he tried to keep silent he tried to keep his sin to himself and that was not working out very well for him just as it will not work for you and I when we try to keep our sin to ourselves rather than confessing our sin to God who is able to heal us and restore us my prayer for each of us may we stay out of sin but if we get into sin may we handle it and deal with it properly as God desires.
