Have you felt a need lately for God's forgiveness? - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance. (NLT) Job 42:6

Have you felt a need lately for God's forgiveness? We go through life striving and pretending to be exceptional at parenting, loving, or anything else. But when we don't measure up, we make excuses and quickly brush it under the rug for no one to see. Through those actions we refuse to recognize any need for God to strengthen us. Instead, let's ask God to forgive us of our pride and arrogance from ignoring our dependence on God.

I go to Him all the time, although I don't open my mouth as often as I use to, and I am more aware of the words that come out of it.

I go to Him for forgiveness, but not for the same thing over and over again, forgiveness is forgiveness and I don't have to do penance, keep saying I am sorry, it is about trying not to do the same thing over and over again.

I made my amend to my God in regards to many things in my life. The greatest one was ignoring the fact that He was there and I ignored Him.
