Easy.  Just ask Jesus for forgiveness and then don't sin again.  He WILL forgive you.

If you want true forgiveness you first have to say to yourself I will never do that again and if you can than you are forgiven. Remember God gave you undeserved Kindness. He forgives faster than we forgive ourselves. That's what Undeserved Kindness is. No one deserves God to forgive him He just does.

Not always.  Sometimes it takes a lot of praying for me to become willing to forgive.  Best I can claim is that I keep trying.

when we pray, we should first, thank God.  Whatever I can find to be thankful for, I name it.  Second, pray for others according to their needs.  Finally, whatever troubles you have on your heart, lay them before God.

If you care, repeat this prayer after me:\n"Dear Lord,\nI know that I am a sinner, and I know that you sent your son to die for my sins.  I ask you Lord to forgive me, and to come and live in me and be my Lord and Savior.  Save me from this world, and the consequenses of those who do not repent.  I do not want to spend eternity in hell.  \nThank you Jesus.\nIn Jesus name,\nAmen"

max,\n\nYou forgive other people for your freedom. At first, the best you can do may be to just say that you forgive the person. Keep working at forgiving until you are free. If the person who wronged you asks for forgiveness then forgive them. That is of benefit for both of you.\n\nYou could have lost someone on 9/11 and then decide to forgive the perpetrators. If they had lived, they would have faced trial and been executed. Your forgiveness didn’t remove their guilt, it just sets you free. Your forgiveness doesn’t excuse their sin, it just allows you to live without the burden of carrying around that mess in your soul.\n\nGod has forgiven Christians from a debt so large that they could never pay it, but if we don’t forgive those who sin against us, then He will not forgive us.\n\nYou don’t say what your background is, but since you asked your question in “Religion & Spirituality” it should be OK to quote Jesus on the subject. Here is what Jesus said to Peter:\n\nThen Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" \n\nJesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.   \n\nTherefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents (millions of dollars) was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. \n\nThe servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. \n\nBut when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii (a few dollars.) He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded. \n\nHis fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' \n\nBut he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. \n\nThen the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. \n\nThis is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."  Matthew 18:21-35\n\nJesus wasn’t saying that God would throw you into a physical prison to be tortured, but you make your own prison by judging another person and finding them guilty. God is the only righteous judge, and He said vengeance belongs to Him, and we are to avoid judging anyone.\n\nIt doesn’t come easy, but forgiveness is required obedience to God. That doesn’t let the person off the hook; it lets you off the hook.\n\nGod bless.

Ask God for forgiveness of all your sins, live the rest of your days right, and talk to all those you need to talk to or see, take a road trip if you can, go somewhere you have always wanted to go and watch plenty of sun sets with your family

Pray and ask the lord to indicate you what is the right thing for you to do... The Lord will tell you, have faith on him...

Tell the people that you may have hurt that you are truly sorry, make restitution if you can, ask the Lord for forgiveness. If that doesn't work talk to your preacher/minister about it.

Yes.  Maybe later than sooner but yes.  Even the real BIG things.  My mother told me once, if I can't forgive, how do I expect God to forgive me.  That pretty much grounds my decisions.  It may take a long time.  It doesn't have to be instant but, it does have to happen.  And once you forgive them.  DROP IT.  Have you ever made a mistake and someone reminded you over and over and over and over and . . . it gets old.  Take your time and your space to work things out for you.  Don't be manipulative, it's not worth it (it may be a bit fun but not worth it).  Good Luck

Pray to the Lord for His strength, wisdom, and will to be done.  \n\nIs it possible that God may have placed you there by design? Yes it is.  You may be their only hope for every coming to the Savior.  If they died tonight in their sins, where would they spend eternity?  If the Lord gave you the chance, are you ready to share Jesus Christ with them?  Notice, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." is not a gift, it is a command.  If we love the Lord, we will do what He commands.  If we love Him as we say, we will pray to Him, not that our life would be made easier, but that He would give us the grace and strength to be a light in a dark place.  Read Matthew Ch. 6 before your head hits the pillow tonight.

In order to get forgiveness as a christian you have to believe what you did was wrong.  You can just go willy nilly and ask to be forgiven if you're just going to do it all again in five minutes.

Dear, we are all the same. But what u r to do is to ask God for forgiviness, repentance n help. Then call ur mom after dinner tell her u have to discuss with her. Then appollogise to her kneeling down with tears on ur eyes tell her to give u the second chance. I believe that with the tears in ur eyes, she will agree n forgive u n forget . but mind u, she will be looking forward n vwatching u to know if there is any improvement in u. so better be careful. \nthanks n God bless u more abundantly.
