How to Ask God For Forgiveness
Written by Carl A
Davenport
Inspired by God
When
we truly want to be forgiven, we search out the sin we are
seeking forgiveness of. We look deeply into what evil desire of
our nature was followed to convert this temptation into a sin.
Sin doesn’t just happen, we are tempted first. We are tempted in
our own desires. When we follow our desires the temptation is
usually blamed for our sin. No temptation is so strong that we
cannot overcome it. Temptation is not the cause. It’s only our excuse
as a reason for committing the sin.
We need to look a close
look at our desires. Why did we do what we did. Was it for
physical pleasure? Was it our ego, was it our pride, was it our
selfishness, was it greed. We have to look until we find the
specific desire that was tempted and why we followed it into the sin. When we find the desire we analyze and learn how it
influences our heart. When we learn its operating mode we form a
plan to avoid it next time.
When we know our motive
and our action, we bring them to God in prayer and ask Him to
forgive us of this sin. We talk to Him and show Him our plan and
ask Him to check our plan for His way. If it is not His way we
will soon find out. Sometimes we find out through other people,
sometimes by reading the Word. It can just come to us by the consequences it causes when we put it in play. Once
we find out we go to God again to ask His guidance in working
our plan. Once we have a working plan in play, we have repented, we are forgiven, and we have a plan
to defeat Satan the next time he tempts in this area.
