how do I ask the lord for forgiveness after I have stumbled?

Question

I am a christian wife and am struggling with my non believing husband who plays church. I have the holy ghost and have been told I can lose it if I am not liveing right. I have stumbled lately with my marriage and feel as though I need his forgiveness.

Answer 1

God - please forgive me - I have stumbled - again.

It's the great earthy struggle - and thank God for Jesus. He knows and understands that we want to do what's right - but we fight our human nature.

See this from the Apostle Paul:

Answer 2

First of all..... relax. You sound as if you are a believer in Jesus and you have accepted Him. He will get you through these things. I'm not sure what you have been told about having the holy Spirit and loosing it if you don't live right. How do you think you are living that is wrong? Staying with an unbeliever? You may very well be put into that situation to help him come to the Lord. You are doing right by sustaining your marriage. As Jesus tells us, the only thing acceptable for divorce is one is being unfaithful. Pray for your issues, give it to Him , tell Him you can't handle your particular issues, and keep your faith in Jesus......then watch.

Answer 3

Nike style- Just Do IT!

Who told you you can lose The Holy Spirit??
Can you lose your son from being YOUR SON?
When we are Born Again we are born into a family that can not just cast us aside. Don't you be fooled by that 'ole tactic. You are and will remain a Child Of The Living God and His Holy Spirit will forever be in and with you!

Stumble? GET UP! Dust yourself off, and get back on the road. Is it hard? Yes! Does it hurt? Yes! Will you overcome? A RESOUNDING YES!

Aww, puddin', don't let these well meaning people get you down and kick you when your down. If you have to get yourself together first, do it. We can not help anyone else until we can help ourselves first. A marriage is for the both people to help and support each other so if he is not you need to find the sanctuary of like minded believers that will pray, fast and study with you. If you need his forgiveness ask for it but do not forget to forgive him for things you held him accountable for. Sometimes we forget that forgivenees IS a two way street. I have you in my prayers and will say a special one as I submit this for you and your husband.

God Bless you and keep you strengthened by The Holy Spirit of Truth!

Answer 4

God created us. He knows we stumble some times.
God says He is AR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM in Quran which means He is Merciful and His Mercy is Never Ending.

Repent to God sincerely. When tears flow from your eyes, this is a sign that God has forgiven you. Help some needy personally in the name of God. God loves those who help others. Beg God to accept your charity. Have trust that God does forgive.

After doing all these when you feel patience and self satisfaction you will feel that God has forgiven you.

Answer 5

what is "stumbled"? Did you commit adultery? Call it like it is---is it sin or not? Your letting your own pride stand in your way---this is why Catholicism is the way to go---confession and along with forgiveness through Jesus it gives you the graces needed to conquer the sins.

Answer 6

Stop flirting with the holy ghost...
Your lord, your husband that is, is always right, and church is a waste of time.

Cook him a nice meal and give him oral sex.

Answer 7

It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.
It is called the sacrament of forgiveness, since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."

It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the love of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God." He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."

Individual, integral confession and absolution remain the only ordinary way for the faithful to reconcile themselves with God and the Church, unless physical or moral impossibility excuses from this kind of confession." There are profound reasons for this. Christ is at work in each of the sacraments. He personally addresses every sinner: "My son, your sins are forgiven." He is the physician tending each one of the sick who need him to cure them. He raises them up and reintegrates them into fraternal communion. Personal confession is thus the form most expressive of reconciliation with God and with the Church.

Answer 8

Spill out your sins to somebody you can trust. Then, find a quite place to pray. Ask the Lord Jesus Christ to lead your prayer to God. Then ask God in Jesus' name to cleanse your spirit, your memories and conscious thoughts of sin. Repent. Cry if you must. Then ask God for his forgiveness in Jesus' name. Say thank you, of course. Believe that God will forgive. He will.

Answer 9

go into a room by yourself and fall on your face and ask for forgiveness... open your heart and give your pain and hurt and all other stuff over to God. Believe that when Jesus died on the cross He took all your pain and suffering with Him.

Answer 10

Just say you were wrong and move on. Read your Bible about unbelieving husbands. (They will be won by the character of the believing wife, obey God and your husband and without preaching at him, your submission will win him.)
