I compared God to an idea a man made construct and now the Lord is very angry with me. I was deceived. How should I repent for my sin? My mind was full of doubts. I was led astray. Tarnished.

I’m so sorry I let you down my God it was through my own foolhardy decisions that I came to the conclusion that God was nothing more than a foregone conclusion.

Our father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thine name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth,
As it is in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us,
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory,
For ever and ever,
Amen

Gracious Heavenly Father,

I come before You humbly, acknowledging my need for salvation and redemption. Your Word assures me of Your redemptive power, that through Jesus Christ, my sins can be washed away and I can be made new. Your perfect love extends to all, and no matter what I have done, You have paid the ransom for me. I thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to the cross to die for my sins.
Lord Jesus, I come to You, recognizing that You are the only way to salvation. I ask You to wash away my sins in the sea of forgetfulness. Your Word assures me in Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” I believe in Your redemptive power to cleanse me and make me white as snow.
Father, I repent of my evil ways and turn to You. I submit to Your will and surrender my life to You completely. I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die for me, and I believe that He rose again on the third day, victorious over sin and death. Your Word assures me in Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” I declare that Jesus is my Lord, and I believe in His resurrection power.
Thank You, Lord, for writing my name in the Lamb’s book of life. I am grateful for the assurance of eternal life in Your presence. Help me to fulfill everything that You have predestined me to do. Guide me in walking in Your ways and fulfilling the purpose You have for my life. Your Word assures me in Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
I thank You, Lord, for Your saving grace and the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. May Your Holy Spirit empower me to live a life that is pleasing to You and to share Your love and truth with others.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen

 
Repent (turn from) of your sin.
It is written..."For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." (2Cor 7:10)
 
Confess your sins to God. If you had not accepted Jesus into your life as your savior, accept Him. Pray the following prayer:" God, I know that I have committed wrong acts in my life and sinned against You. I deserve fully your punishment of eternal hell. Yet, You love me so much that you sent Jesus Christ down to take the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I accept Jesus into my life as my Savior and trust You, oh God for my salvation. Thank you for saving me." If you did that, you can be assured that your sins are forgiven. You don't need to feel condemned anymore.
 
My mind was full of doubts. I was led astray.
1john1:9 if we confess our sins, he ( God ) is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

You have to trustworthy God tell us in the bible and also forgive yourself.


You trust and believe Jesus is your saviour, so why can you not believe that he will forgive you your sins?

May I urge you to find and regulated attend a local church, so you have Christians you can discuss any theological problems with over a cup of coffee.

Do you see how your eyes are fixed upon yourself, here, and on your sin? No man ever became more like Jesus, they never loved God more, by gazing at their sin. And so, you'll find nowhere in the New Testament any instruction to do so. Instead, the apostle Paul wrote this:

Philippians 3:12-14
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal
for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.


Also, the Bible never says "God is anger." It does say, however, "God is love" more than once. Before the universe existed, did God exist as an angry God? Against what or whom would He be angry? Himself? Of course not. So, then, we understand that God is not, in His essential nature, a God of anger and wrath. No, instead, it is in God's essential nature to love, which, before Creation, He did within the Triune Godhead, the Father loving the Son, the Son loving the Father, both loving the Spirit, and so on.

I say all this to point out that you mistake who God is when you think He is an angry God, a God who is quick to temper and punishment. He isn't. Rather, as the apostle Peter wrote, God is "longsuffering (or patient) toward us" (2 Peter 3:9). The Psalmist wrote that God "remembers that we are dust" (Psalms 103:14). In the book of the Exodus, God says the following to Moses:

Exodus 34:6-7
6 Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;
7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."


Why, then, are you so fearful of God? The God who is love is not given to anger, He hasn't got a temper that roars into a raging inferno at the first wrong step we take. Would such a God have made the effort He did to rescue us from ourselves? Would an angry, temperamental, wrathful God have sent His only Son to die for those who hated him, for those who were God's enemies? Obviously not.

You fear an angry God because you don't believe God really loves you. Why do I say this? Well, I don't, actually, the apostle John does:

1 John 4:18
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.


I’m so sorry I let you down my God it was through my own foolhardy decisions that I came to the conclusion that God was nothing more than a foregone conclusion.

Why are you saying this in a CF.net post? Why aren't you keeping your confession to God just between you and Him? We don't need to be privy to your confession. If God knows you're repentant, no one else needs to know.

Gracious Heavenly Father,

I come before You humbly, acknowledging my need for salvation and redemption. Your Word assures me of Your redemptive power, that through Jesus Christ, my sins can be washed away and I can be made new. Your perfect love extends to all, and no matter what I have done, You have paid the ransom for me. I thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to the cross to die for my sins.

You may know this, but do you really believe it? Your concern that God is "very angry" with you suggests that you don't.

1 John 4:16
16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.


The man who not only knows God loves him but believes it takes up this attitude:

1 John 4:17-18
17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment...


Those who have known and believed God's love for them cease to fear God as a wrathful Judge but enjoy Him instead as their loving, patient, gracious, merciful Heavenly Father. By the justification, sanctification and redemption of us by God through Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30), we have "put on Christ" (Romans 13:14; Galatians 3:27) and are clothed spiritually in his perfection and thus made entirely and permanently acceptable to God. We have no cause, then, as "new creatures in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:17) to fear God, but can enjoy fully Him as our heavenly Father.

Romans 8:15
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"


Lord Jesus, I come to You, recognizing that You are the only way to salvation. I ask You to wash away my sins in the sea of forgetfulness. Your Word assures me in Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” I believe in Your redemptive power to cleanse me and make me white as snow.

Just so you know: After the Atonement of Christ on the cross, no born-again person is ever instructed to ask God for forgiveness. No one can be born-again, you see, unless God has entirely forgiven them of all their sin, past, present and future, which He does for Christ's sake, who was "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). No born-again person has to plead with God for forgiveness, then; they already have it as His adopted child and would not be His child were this not so. So, then, the sinning child of God ought not plead with Him for what they already have through Jesus Christ, but are instructed in Scripture to do the following in order to return to full, unhindered fellowship with God:

1. Repent. (Change my mind about my sin - James 4:6-10.)
2. Confess. (Agree with God that my sin was sin - 1 John 1:9.)
3. Submit. (Consciously, explicitly yield myself to the Spirit's control - Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1.)

There is no way to resume "walking with God" but by these things.

Help me to fulfill everything that You have predestined me to do.

If God has predestined for you to do a thing, you will do it, right? Why ask God, then, to help you do it? It is certain you will do it, if it is predestined by God that you should. In fact, there is no good reason to pray to God about anything if all of human existence is meticulously ordained of God to happen just as He wishes. We are all certain to do as He wants since His will is always done, right? But, then, there is murder, rape, torture, genocide, theft, adultery, pedophilia, homosexuality, etc. Are these things predestined by God, too? If everything is predestined by God, then it follows that He is the Cause of these things. What to make of such a God, though, eh? Perhaps thinking that everything is predestined by God to happen needs some adjustment...

May Your Holy Spirit empower me to live a life that is pleasing to You and to share Your love and truth with others.

What does this mean? Do you know? How, exactly, does the Holy Spirit empower Christians to live God-pleasing lives?
