Wear a coat of wool to the mall in 96 degree weather, drink only salt water, and eat only juniper berries. On top of that, go to the outskirts of town, dig a 6' deep pit and live in it, wearing only a frown, for 6 years. nm

God is your heavenly father and fathers forgive their children because they love them. This is true no matter what you did. If you committed rape or murder you should get straight with the authorities because continuing to lie is continuing the sin. Any other sin, no matter how gross or ugly, you can keep to yourself and only confess during Private prayer. You DO Not have to confess to a priest or anyone. It is between you and God and judging by your writing I feel you have already been forgiven because you sound very sorry and God knows the intention of your heart. Just do not sin the same sin over and over. Ask for forgiveness and don't do it anymore.

The forgiveness has already been given, you only need to accept Jesus into your heart as your savior (if you haven't done so already). In doing so, you also need to confess your sin to the Lord. It is also commanded that you confess to a brother/sister in Christ (this ought to be someone close to you that you can truly trust). If you have already accepted Jesus, and you have already confessed your sin, then the forgiveness is already done (by the spilling of Jesus blood on the cross). The guilt your feeling at this point is the Devil whispering to you that it's not enough. Satan wants you to feel like God's grace is not good enough, that you must do something to earn God's gift. That is the Devils trick, but a gift that is earned is no gift at all.

Calm down hon! Listen, all you need to do is to confess this to GOD and ask for HIS forgiveness and tell HIM that you need a Savior. If you believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of GOD and that HE died to set you free from the curse of sin, then you can be sure that your sin is forgiven.
Now don't let Satan tell you that you have no hope! He comes only to steal, kill and destroy!! GOD said so. There is no truth is Satan and there never has been.
The next thing you have to do is going to be the hardest. You have to forgive yourself. Don't forget the lesson you learned here but don't live in the thing either. Live like you are washed clean in the Blood of The Lamb!!

You go to God in prayer, confess your sins and let God know that you are sincerely sorry, and ask His forgiveness. Ask Him also to help you not repeat the offenses. Then thank Him.
If you are not saved, ask God into your life by accepting Jesus and His work on the cross for your sins, and start reading God's Word which will keep you. Start with the Book of John.

There is nothing you can do to make God stop loving you. Even those terrible sins are forgiven, when we approach God and ask for His forgiveness. There is no pennance you have to pay. Just accept His love and forgiveness, and turn away from a life of sin.

Think of the Father as being a perfect parent, always acting from unconditional love. Always. A perfect parent who offers only Mercy to his children, nothing less. See if you can imagine being a perfect parent, so full of love and adoration for your children, and ask yourself, "what mistake my child made would I not be able to forgive? How rotten do they have to be before I would punish them?" Think about this, if God punishes his children in hell, then 'forgiveness' has no meaning. Forgiveness clears one of punishment, you are forgiven, cherished, loved unconditionally.
I think perhaps our Father puts us on time out, waiting and waiting for us to join Him in acting from perfect Love (where there are no wrong actions) The hot seat scare was probably used by those in power way back when, to control the masses. Punishing while forgiving, hmmm..... can that even make sense? Like warn sunlight my dear, there is enough Mercy to go around, to touch all.
What can you do for God? (a tip I found):
The act of forgiving everyone else is the key to releasing ourselves from our own feelings of personal guilt.
Forgive others!
Make amends by helping others daily!
Extend Gods goodwill!
Have no harmful intent towards others!
Stay on a path with Heart.
Peace

Ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord and Savior and ask Him to forgive you of all your sins. He will then wipe your slate clean.
It is now up to you to pick up the pieces and start a new life with Christ. The only one who is going to make you feel bad is you and any human who does not have God in their heart. God is now your Father and the only one you need to glorify and exalt.
Trust me, you have more than two sins, so make sure you give them all to God. Get a New King James Bible and read the book of John. Pray all the time about anything that comes along. Go to a church that believes in the Bible. Ask a lot of questions and don't stop till you get answers that work for you.
Sin is from the devil and he wants you to feel bad and lies to you all the time. The devil doesn't want you to go to the Lord because he hates God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The devil has the earth as his domain and knows how the story ends. He knows that he is going to the lake of fire for eternity and he wants as many of us to go with him as he can deceive into going. God made hell for the devil and his fallen angels. People have chosen hell over heaven and then blame God for sending them to hell. Go figure!
You have a choice: heaven or hell! Choose heaven and choose eternal peace and life in heaven. Choose hell and choose eternal damnation, fire and brimstone, and the lake of fire, without loosing consciousness or your senses.
Don't let others talk you out of your salvation and your trip to heaven because they think Christianity isn't cool. Don't let people who are not all that important in your life make decisions that will affect where you spend eternity. God created you to be an individual. So do the God thing and laugh at the devil!!!
Hope this helps you. You have no idea how great you are going to feel when you don't have to carry those two sins around any more.
God bless you!

Pray for forgiveness of your sins, repent of them. God will forgive you. He promises that. You really need to understand Ephesians Chapter 2 verse 8, 9. Look it up. Its by his grace that we are saved, not of our own works. There is nothing you can do but accept that Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago on the cross, a brutal death......for your sins and mine. and that if we submit to his will and follow him we will be forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life. Otherwise a sin is a sin it doesn't matter what you do. His spirit will cleanse you and allow you to fight sin, its not our flesh or our work that does it. Just trust in him.

God will forgive every sin beside the two serious sins (killing the innocent and blaspheming Saint Spirit), if you never commit the sins above, then you could take the baptism in the Church of LDS with your true regretful soul and broken heart, then God will forgive you. Then you will be as pure as a white paper. But you should not commit sins after baptism, or you should be repent again and again in the face of bishop in your Church.
However, after baptism, if you really do good as you could and you really mean it, then maybe you will have the chance to be in the right hand of God on the date of his Judgement.
I feel baptism is very important. As we know, even innocent Jesus Christ, he took the baptism, too. He shows us how important baptism is with his model action.

Do you feel remorse in your heart? Try to be the best person you can be, forgive yourself and try not to make the same mistakes again.
If you believe in the Christian God, then you should know that He forgives all sins as long as you repent.
I personally live by one rule and that's do unto others as you would have them do onto you. Basically I try to treat every man, woman, child and animal with respect so that I won't deliberately or inadvertently hurt or offend anyone.
