Honey, your sin is between you and God. Find your inner strength and ask Him for forgiveness and then find a church (hopefully your home church) that you can attend. Good luck to you and above all, remember He forgives us all our sins. Merry Christmas.

Dragon, I too have recently gone through something like this. Think of Zaccheus, the dishonest tax collector. Christ came to his house and there Zaccheus evidently had accepted Christ's forgiveness of his own sins, because when he emerges from the house, he is full of joy and the desire to make restitution for what he has cheated people.
Right now, your business is between you and God, no matter what you have done. Believe that Christ has paid for your sin and accept it by faith with a heart of repentance and rest in that. Allow His peace to flood your soul. Then, and only then will you have the wisdom to know which of your sins may need confessing to another individual and/or restitution made, and have the strength to do it, for it will not be you but His Spirit in you.

Sometimes I feel like my relationship with God is being tested and I make really bad choices. You dont have to let your sins be known before everyone. All you have to do is sit down and ask God to mend your relationship and asked forgivness for your sins. It also helps if you spend some time with people of the same faith. It brings you closer. I'll keep you in my prayers.
God Bless,
Juli

God never gets scandalize of our sins. Our relationship with God is not measure by a feeling, but in the confidence that He is there for you and he will never abandon you, even when we forget Him. "When the House is clean, the devil comes with 7 other demons". In other words the closer we get to God the harder the fight will be, so don't get discourage, stand up and fight the good fight of faith. Be happy when you can see your sins, and get worry when you cant see them. When we see our sins we cannot judge others because we know who we are and how God still love us. On the other hand, when you cant see them you would be promptly to judge the others. If i know my friend sins, i will pray for him/her, if i a am a Christian. Is very important for every Christian to have their sins in their hands, that will keep us begging for God's grace every day of our life. God Bless You

What people? God already knows everything you may have done.If you tell Him and are really sorry (he'll know if you really are),just ask Him to forgive you. This is between you and God.No one else. God will forget your confessed sins for ever, never to remember them again. However,satan will always put people in your path to remind you. Condemnation comes from satan,not God.

The act of airing your wrongs, in order to right them is called being humble and there realy is nothing wrong with being humble. It is very refreshing actually.

Confess your sins to God in prayer.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
