In this fifth episode of our Peacewise series, we turn to David’s heartfelt confession in Psalm 51. His words model what it looks like to own our sin honestly and humbly before God. In any conflict, we must accept responsibility for our contribution—no excuses, no minimising, no blame-shifting. We’ll explore how true repentance opens the door to healing, why integrity matters in reconciliation, and how God’s mercy transforms a contrite heart into a renewed life.
