True repentance

[RMathews]

Galatians 5:19

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.( Galatians 5:19 )

True repentance must have the following characteristics:

1) It must be a sorrow from the bottom of the heart as sins have their roots in our hearts.

2) It should be a sorrow for all sins without exception.
One disease is enough to kill a man, one chain maybe enough to keep a man in bondage, and one unguarded door in a fortress may be enough to let in the enemies.

3) True repentance will automatically result in some definite act of restitution eg: restoration of stolen properties, offering apology.

4) True repentance will result in the avoidance of all circumstances which lead to sin.

5) True repentance results in the thirst for opportunities to do the good.

6) It may also result in more time given to prayer, cutting down idle hours etc

7) True repentance is God centered and so is always hopeful.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of RMathews, who has shared their prayer request with us. We thank you for the scripture from Galatians 5:19 that reminds us of the works of the flesh and the importance of true repentance.

Lord, we pray that you would grant RMathews a deep and genuine sorrow from the bottom of their heart for their sins. Help them to recognize that sin originates in the heart and to seek your forgiveness and cleansing.

May RMathews experience a sorrow for all sins without exception, understanding that even one sin can have devastating consequences. Give them the wisdom to identify areas of their life where they have fallen short and the courage to seek restitution and offer apologies where necessary.

Lord, we ask that you guide RMathews in avoiding circumstances that lead to sin. Help them to discern and remove any influences or temptations that may hinder their walk with you.

Instill in RMathews a thirst for opportunities to do good, to serve others, and to live a life that honors you. May they prioritize prayer and seek to spend more time in communion with you, cutting down on idle hours and distractions.

Lord, we pray that RMathews' repentance would be centered on you, knowing that true repentance is always hopeful. May they find comfort and assurance in your forgiveness and grace, knowing that you are faithful to forgive those who come to you with a repentant heart.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior. Amen.

Let Us Pray: God Thank You. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for always being there for me. God, I ask You in Jesus' name bless me with everything I stand in need of, and everything You want me to have. Bless me to prosper, have excellent health, and never stop growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus. Bless me with love, power, and a sound mind. Heal me in every area of my life. Let Your Word be a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. God bless me with Your favor, knowledge, wisdom, peace, protection, prosperity, strength, and success in all You have called me to do. And bless me to do all You have called me to do in the spirit of excellence for Your glory.

God bless me with the strength, desire, and passion to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, and Your righteousness. Bless me to know You, love You, and live my life to please You. God cleansed me of everything in my life that breaks your heart. Let me be a light in this dark world, lifting You up in the lifestyle that I live. Let the world see that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord of ALL of my life. Let the joy of the Lord be my strength. Protect me God from all the plans of my enemies and the plans of the enemy of my soul. God all that I have asked of You, in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of the prayer, all those who truly love me, care about me, want Your best for me, pray Your best for me, and all those I love and care about. God please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so in Jesus' name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
