  4. When You Are Truly Sorry 1Have mercy on me, O God,according to your unfailing love;according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3For I know my transgressions,and my sin is always before me. (Psalms 51:1-2, NIV)

  5. When You Are Truly Sorry 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. 5Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. (Psalms 51:4-5, NIV)

  6. When You Are Truly Sorry 6Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. 7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. (Psalms 51:6-7, NIV)

  7. When You Are Truly Sorry 8Let me hear joy and gladness;let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. (Psalms 51:8-9, NIV)

  8. When You Are Truly Sorry 10Create in me a pure heart, O God,and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. (Psalms 51:1-12, NIV)

  9. When You Are Truly Sorry 13Then I will teach transgressors your ways,and sinners will turn back to you. 14Save me from bloodguilt, O God,the God who saves me,and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. (Psalms 51:13-14, NIV)

  10. When You Are Truly Sorry 15O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare your praise. 16You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. (Psalms 51:15-16)

  11. When You Are Truly Sorry 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;a broken and contrite heart,O God, you will not despise. 18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;build up the walls of Jerusalem. (Psalms 51:17-18, NIV)

  12. When You Are Truly Sorry 19Then there will be righteous sacrifices,whole burnt offerings to delight you;then bulls will be offered on your altar. (Psalms 51:19, NIV)

  13. When You Are Truly Sorry • Basic Considerations. • Definition of Repentance. • Repentance is not an emotion, but an attitude that leads to a specific action. • It is an attitude that chooses to confront sin rather than to ignore it.

  15. When You Are Truly Sorry 3When I kept silent,my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. (Psalms 32:3-4, NIV)

  16. When You Are Truly Sorry • The example of the physical affects of depression. 10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. (2 Cor 7:10, NIV) 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” (Gen 3:10, NIV)

  17. When You Are Truly Sorry • How Do We Repent? • Identify areas of sin. (where we fail to meet God’s standards) 23Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139:23-24, NIV)

  18. When You Are Truly Sorry • Acknowledge Our Sin before God. 4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. (Psalms 51:4, NIV)

  19. When You Are Truly Sorry 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9, NIV)

  20. When You Are Truly Sorry • Accept His Forgiveness. 1Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,whose sins are covered. 2Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.(Psalms 32:1-2, NIV)
