I confess my faults to the Lord and You took away the guilt of my sins.

"Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”  (2 Samuel 12: 13 NIV)

David was a man after God's heart.  Why?    Once he is convicted of sin, never offers  excuses.  When you sin, say to God immediately: "I have sinned.  Have mercy on me."  If your sin is very serious, pray Psalm 51 and then go for Reconciliation the very first opportunity.
