Repentance
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9
Mistakes, shortcomings, and sins are all performed by individuals daily. It is not uncommon to have days where you let the enemy creep too far in and do something that does not honor God and the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. When we pray for repentance, we might feel that God is not listening or doesn't want to forgive us, but this is not the case. God wants His children to live a life that is close to Him and one that focuses on Him. If our repentance is not genuine, He is not going to forgive, but will wait in His time until we make the decision that we are truly humbled and repentant for our mistake, shortcoming or sin. Remember that God will forgive those who come to Him with a sincere feeling of repentance. God is there and always will be there.
Have a great weekend.
