Many of us spend our days running around with few breaks. So how do we repent of our sins when we find it hard to pause even for a moment?

So much of life is spent in our homes with our family, especially if you’re a homeschool family. It prompted a question like this one from a wife and mom named Gretchen. “Dear Pastor John, I spend the bulk of my day raising and teaching three young children at home. I am constantly aware of my sin: impatience, selfishness, irritation, etc. Like King David in Psalm 51, my sin is ‘ever before’ me.

“There is never enough time in the day to confess these sins! It is hard to hit the pause button on the day’s events so that I can adequately repent and subsequently experience the joy of repentance. How do I confess sin moment by moment while still being present to the people around me, especially when I cannot take a break to be alone with the Lord? Can rapid repentance still be honest and thorough? What does repentance look like when life never slows down?”
