On certain routes that I drive, there are spots that I dedicate to prayer. Not for any special reason other than that's when I know I won't be distracted by much outside stimuli and that I usually drive through this space alone most times.
A couple days ago during my drive through one of these spaces, I begin my regular ritual of prayer, giving thanks and praying for protection and healing of this crazy world. But before I could get the first sentence out, something spoke to me... Sidenote: I'm a HUGE believer of trusting my intuition and listening to that something when I feel I'm hearing it. The thought that came was, "Instead of just thanking Him, or asking for His protection, maybe we should pray to God for forgiveness. Forgiveness of whatever we've done to offend Him." ...and so I did and it felt like an answer...at least the beginning of an answer.
God's word says where two or three gather in his name, He will be there in their midst. Matthew 18:20, right? Today, regardless of when you're reading this, take a couple minutes, seconds, out of your day to ask God for forgiveness. "God forgive me, forgive us"...it's as simple as that. No long drawn out thing is needed on this one.
Sincerely, in my heart, I believe we need to do this. I believe it will help.
