Freedom from doubt and guilt through confession.
He didn't have any doubts or guilt. When he fell short in his duty, he readily admitted it, saying, "I am prone to this; I will always fall short if I am left to my own devices." If he didn't fail, he would thank God, acknowledging that the strength came from Him.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When have I fallen short recently?
How does admitting my mistakes to God lighten my spirit?
