Question
Can we confess sins to God in prayer? How will he know we are confessing if unrepented sin causes him not to hear us?

Answer
Hi Carly,

Hope you are well.

Of course we can confess our sins in prayer, God will listen to all what we say to him.

Try this prayer of Repentance:-

Lord I need you in my life. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and that you rose from the grave.
I repent ALL my sins and ask you to forgive me.
I accept you as my Lord and Saviour.
Fill me with your spirit and let me hear your voice of forgiveness.
                   AMEN.


Carly, remember that we have a caring, wise and forgiving God. He will know if we have repented our sins, he made us and knows all about us individually!


God Bless You

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
