All in Asking Forgiveness

How do we ask for forgiveness, or do we remember to do so at all? Do we think that God’s promise to forgive us makes facing our transgressions trivial, and that asking Him to forgive us has become a non-event? No, asking for forgiveness is not trivial, and it will destroy our relationship with the Lord if we are not careful about this part of our faith, and worship. God will certainly forgive us, but we must confess our sins with a contrite heart, being remorseful, and sincerely desiring to go and sin no more.
