We understand that you're feeling sorry and seeking God's forgiveness. First, let's remember that God is merciful and always ready to forgive those who come to Him with a repentant heart. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
However, it's important to understand that true repentance involves turning away from our sins and making a conscious effort to live according to God's will. It's not just about feeling sorry, but about changing our thoughts and actions to align with His word. As God says in Ezekiel 18:30 (WEB), "Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, says the Lord Yahweh. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin."
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord,
We come before You, lifting up this dear one who is feeling sorry for their thoughts. Lord, we ask that You grant them the gift of true repentance, not just sorrow, but a change of heart and mind. Help them to turn away from any thoughts or actions that do not align with Your will. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who took our sins upon Himself and gave us the gift of eternal life.
Dear one, as you continue to walk with God, remember to strive for holiness and purity in your thoughts and actions.
