God will forgive you forsure, because you feel sorry and you do not want to repeat the incident. So do not worry, God said, "When I forgive, I forget"

Why do you care if an imaginary being forgives you or not? The only ones you need forgiveness from are people, including yourself. If you can get over the fact that you do not meet the arbitrary ideal of perfection you think you 'should', you'll be able to forgive yourself.

It is not anything to think about for even a minute. God has more important things to do than that.You need therapy if something so minor would cause you to think about hurting yourself. You are obsessed with religion and guilt.

God will forgive you. Just remember as you do already we are all sinners in desperate need of Jesus who is the only One able to forgive sin.

Dont worry about it.. wether the shop assistant believes you were gonna steal it or not, doesnt matter. If you are worred that God wont forgive you, dont worry he knows that he didnt meant ot steal it

There are smaller sins that you can die with (that would be one) and still go to heaven. Then there are the seven deadly sins that are actually damnable unless you confess your sins. Pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Nothing about thieving there, so your safe! Besides, you didn't even steal anything, right?

I think that was a harmless mistake. Nothing to fret over it. :-) Embarrassment and guilt shows you have a good conscience within, which you should be proud to have. :-)
Just forgive yourself. :-) Obtw, don't hurt yourself....it will only make things worse for yourself. I don't think your "god" would want you to hurt yourself. *hug*

well, you were tempeted, we all get tempted, course, im not God, i dont think God even has a computer so...this probably isn't the best place to ask, but i would guess that God wouldn't want one of his children to be cutting on themselves, so dont hurt yourself, we all get tempted sometimes

If you learned your lesson, then you need to forgive yourself. You're only human and God knows this.
