God is loving. God is merciful. We are all disobedient at some point in time, are we not? Yet, God covers us with His grace. Now that is mercy.

Not prayer for "relief" since self seems to be the primary priority. Being not obedient is selfish. Repent and sin no more. Pray for the strength and courage to change.

Of course, we must ask God's forgiveness and ask Him to help us to learn from our mistakes and to follow Him more closely in order to not make the same mistakes again. However, there is an old saying I grew up with. "if you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I do not believe anymore that statement to be true. I, as well, believe it human to ask for relief. The prodigal son was given relief by his earthly father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being unselfish can reverse the outcome provided proper repenting occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the display of love God has shown us... we should rather be concerned with area of the heart thatdid this! Repentance is what should be sought instead of relief... for God says thisLuke 9:25-2625 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man beashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.KJVthe whole of life, in the leading of The Holy Spirit, is sanctification- throwing aside the old and living the newlife formed from His Word... the body and it's desires are passing away therefore seek that which does notpass away; for the eternal treasure 'IS' being like The Son which God shall keep for His Glory!
