Please Forgive Me
As a “spiritual” person, I don’t have a church that I go to to repent for my sins. I know God is every where and sees who sin and what the sins are and what a person does about those sins. I find myself asking for forgiveness quite a bit. I know I’m NOT perfect, but I also know when to acknowledge my sins.
Like for example, I am complaining about the weather. Today it feels like a day in autumn NOT in spring!! Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. Complaining isn’t going to solve the problem. Besides there are people out there in the world that may be suffering losses from a storm caused by Mother Nature. I should be thankful that even though I don’t like this cooler weather right now, I should be thankful that I’m not in a catastrophe and lost every thing. I should also be thankful for this cooler weather because when we do get hotter temperatures, I’ll be wishing that it was cooler.
I know that example is very trivial, but still I shouldn’t be complaining about the weather, just as I shouldn’t complain about my health and aches and pains. There are people that aren’t alive to complain!! So, “Please, Forgive Me” for my complaining!!
I also have to ask for forgiveness when I judge people. For example, I know of some one who claims they’re a “religious” person. They go to church, active in church functions, confesses to a priest/minister and lives by what the priest/minister says. Now, “Please Forgive Me” but it seems to me that they’re putting some one else before God!! Now that in itself you should have to repent for, but who too.. the person that you’re putting “above” God? If you’re really “religious” you would repent everyday, because we’re all NOT perfect!! Now, “please Forgive Me” for judging that person as NOT a religious person, because judging some one is NOT my job!!
I know I’m NOT perfect and that I should live my life as God did. I know there are times when I don’t have the patience, I want to give up, I have doubts about my faith and often times I judge people and complain, so “Please Forgive Me” I know I’m not perfect and I’m acknowledging this. ~Amen~
~Peace~

Your imperfection is not the reason to ask forigveness to the Lord. The good and the bad weather we have everyday is not in your own making nor others. It is nature's way and nobody could control or tame the nature. The thing you are going to ask forgiveness is a sin that you have committed in one or two of the ten commandments. And the law of the land should be held accountable and forgiveness couldn't suffice to satisfy the law. You should be meted according to the rule of law.
Why is there a need to repent your sin when you know that you are born as a sinner? This is something that I do not agree with the teachings.
I rather believe in Karma that whatever you do today will have a consequence in the future.
There is no need to think about the bad deeds done in the past.
We have to look forward to the future, and do better today.
No one is perfect and I think that God realizes this and as long as we try to improve ourselves then we do not have to ask forgiveness for these small transgressions. I think we all do these things since it is just human nature.
yup, nobody is perfect, me neither.
I had not been to church since I married to my buddhist hubby.
I missed the church and missed God very much.
So, I set up a small alter in my bedroom and pray the rosary daily.
I feel closer to God this way.
Always ask forgiveness for anything and everything and you will feel blessed and thankful too.
That is what life is all about
You don't have to ask forgiveness for those little things. I also feel those things at times.
Though, I also easily get angry and when I get angry at somebody I feel guilty too because I have hurt the person at my outburst although I don't sin because I don't hold my anger for long. So, what I do is ask for apology from the person, If not, I make a peace offering like I buy a sandwich or anything I can give to appease the person.
Though at night, I would pray for all those that I have knowingly and unknowingly have done wrongly during the course of my day.
Am just curious @Dina fromw what I have gathered in your post I feel like your contradicting yourself. Why because you say you don't have to forgive her you say that when someone does you wrong you ask for forgiveness. This is something that everyone has to do every single day. We cannot say she have no sin because the bible tell us that we have all dinner and fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one who is perfect in this world, sometimes we do wrongs to people and we think that it is okay, other times we do wrong thinking that it's okay to do it. When we have thoughts that are not right with our heart's, when we have unclean thoughts over someone else and many other things we should not say that we have not sinned, because that is sin. Sin is sin whether big or small it makes no difference. For me i will always ask God to forgive me for my wrongs whether in dead or in thought, because I know at some point I may have said something wrong. So it's something I make part of my life all the time.
