Asking For Forgiveness

“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit, there is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.’” [1]

Sin is a terrible partner. Why live with it? Why live with guilt? Unconfessed sin is unhealthy. It hinders productivity. It is better to confess our sins to God, to ask His forgiveness and to ask for His help and healing than to press on without Him.

God’s Word says that if we acknowledge our sin and confess it to God, that He will be faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from unrighteous ways. Hallelujah!

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” [2]

“Heavenly Father, please forgive us for trespassing past boundaries lines that you set for us (transgressions). Please forgive our unjust balances (iniquity). Please forgive us for failing to do Your will (sin). Help us by the power of Your Holy Spirit to change and to bring You glory. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.”
