I know this post is very late but I just got here!
I don't know you or your feelings Griff but here is my thought:
Faith = A whole lot of BLIND faith.
To Be Forgiven you must ask for it
and recieve it.
When I first began to contemplate GOD'S forgiveness it was too hard. It made me not want to have the relationship with GOD that I needed, because it was confusing and scary.
So right on the edge of giving up, I decided to just believe that I am forgiven for anything I
genuinly ask forgiveness for (as long as I am still here to ask) and to believe that GOD answers my prayers, if they need answering (keep in mind, usually what we think we
need turns out to only be what we
want)and just see how it goes.
Time went by (slowly, because blind faith is well, its hard!) (in the beginning) and then one day I suddenly remembered a prayer from around age 6 or 7....where I asked GOD to please let me have a husband that loves me with all of his heart and a baby to love me forever. HELLO!!!! I have exactly that!
Now from the age of 6 or 7, when I desperately wanted these things, until I figured out I had them (20 years) I thought so many times that GOD doesn't or won't answer my prayers. So many BAD things happened to me in that time. And I had men in my life (at different times
)that I desperately wanted to be GODS answer for me, but they would only hurt me. But here I am with an answered prayer(that I had forgotten about) that I see everyday!
I've rambled enough...... final thoughts...... Our idea of when or if our prayers should be answered isnt right. GOD knows when to give you what you need. And GOD forgives when you truly mean you are sorry(and he knows when you mean it).
And as for sins you may have forgotten try....... GOD, I have sinned, I am a sinner and I don't want to be. Forgive me of my sins LORD and guide me to you. In Jesus' Name Amen
i hope this helps griff..........We are all sinners and GOD loves us all!
May GOD Bless YOU!!!!!!
P.S. I'm so sorry I wrote so much...I just saw how long this is!
