If you find yourself telling God over and over again that you are sorry for the same sin, then you may need to expand your prayer life around the issue. Here is a tool box of 5 repentance prayers I use regularly to help change my heart and behavior so I can move into greater faithfulness to God.

Some times we know better but convince ourselves it is okay. Praying that God will reveal to you your sin can be a powerful first step.
