"He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13
Without sincerity or the willingness to abandon sin, a person's life remains bound to evil and still has credit with the devil. However, he who recognises his mistakes and leaves his unruly life puts himself under the conditions of the Spirit of God to act in his favour and to bless him.

Fear of God
"Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always,
but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity."
Proverbs 28:14
Those who fear God are those who have a faith that is constant and defined and giving ears to the His voice is their priority. However, those who resist and harden their hearts will suffer damage from evil because of their rebellion.

The Pit
"He who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good." Proverbs 28:10
Many try to be smart in their own eyes by inviting the righteous to the wrong path, however, if there is fear in the heart of the Christian, he will escape evil and evil people and will find favour with God.

Received
"Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you." Revelation 3:3
Remembering and meditating on the teachings that we have received and promptly seeking to live what the Holy Spirit has told us, (giving us an opportunity to correct our mistakes and thus striving to obey His teachings), is a sensible way of watching; so that we may be found active in faith.

Oppression
"Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep." Psalm 107:41
Oppression is the work of the devil in the lives of his children. However, deliverance is the fruit of the unconditional surrender to the Lord Jesus. For these people, the promise is to live, by faith, in the heavenly realm, safe and blessed, with their families.

Cares

In all of my worries in YOU I find consolation and refuge.

Rejoicing
"He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126:6
In spite of the difficulties that you face, it is important to work - giving of yourself - because you will certainly reap the joy of your fruits here in the present.
