Part of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, known as Confession, is a wonderful blend of soul-searching; formulated prayer; heart-to-heart discussion with the priest in persona Christi, that is, in the Person of Christ; absolution, contribution and a firm resolution to try to overcome our faults.

Christians can come to God and do that sort of thing any time they feel the need to. No need to wait until it's time to go to confession and tell a priest.

It's me and God time with a heart to heart discussion with my Heavenly Father, Creator of the universe and not a stand in for Him. I talk to HIM directly.

That's beautiful! God is everywhere, and we can talk to Him anytime and know He's listening. I've spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms, for one or another of my parents, talking with Him; driving; doing housework, or just sitting- you name it! He makes all our daily life special if we remember to include Him in our day!

Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
