This piece is designed to help someone struggling with guilt from an abortion, or any other sin, to form honest prayers to God. It is based on the General Confession from the Book of Common Prayer. It leads the aggrieved person to create a liturgy that reflects the wisdom and experience of confessing sinners through the centuries.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
