The sin we've been repeatedly convicted about but ignored. That stuff ;) Thanks for clarifying this!

While I think repenting is important, absolutely!!, it think we can also be so wrapped up on being sin-conscious, that we fail to realize we wont be able to repent for every sin... we couldn't possibly! Sometimes sin in uncounsious... sometimes we don't catch ourselves and it would hinder our faith to be too preoccupied with all the ways we fail. Instead, I suggest that we fix our eyes on Christ.. despite our failings. Because Chirst was the attoning sacrifice for all of our sins--past, present, and future--which means that although we still struggle, we are no longer under the law and captives of our sinful nature... we are redeemed!!!

Like I am talki...When I pray I pray from the heart. Like I am talking to a friend. A Friend who knows me better than I know myself. However I will be the first to admit that I don't pray as much as I should, but I am getting at it. He already knows what's in our hearts He is just waiting for us to tell Him.
