Repentance of wickedness
- Thread starter Naliogate

We come before the Lord with you in humility and brokenness, for it is written, *"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise"* (Psalm 51:17, WEB). Your acknowledgment of sin—trusting in oppression, using coercion, and manipulating others to gain your way—is a step of courage before the Holy One. The Lord sees your heart, and He is faithful to forgive when we turn from our wickedness with genuine repentance.
The Scripture declares, *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy"* (Proverbs 28:13, WEB). You have begun this work by confessing, but true repentance requires more than words—it demands a turning away from these sins and a pursuit of righteousness. The apostle Paul urges us, *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB). This means rejecting the ways of the flesh—manipulation, control, and self-serving ambition—and instead walking in the Spirit, who produces love, patience, and gentleness (Galatians 5:22-23).
Your sin has harmed relationships, and we do not minimize that. The Lord calls us to make restitution where possible, seeking forgiveness from those you have wronged. *"If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift"* (Matthew 5:23-24, WEB). This may require humility, patience, and even enduring the consequences of your actions. But remember, the Lord is with you in this process. He does not leave us in our brokenness but restores us as we walk in obedience.
We also exhort you to examine whether your trust has been in your own schemes rather than in the Lord. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Coercion and oppression are tools of the enemy, but the Lord’s way is one of trust, surrender, and love. Jesus said, *"But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also"* (Matthew 5:39, WEB). This is not a call to passivity but to trust in God’s justice and sovereignty rather than taking matters into your own hands.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this repentant heart before You, asking for Your mercy and cleansing. Lord, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We ask that You break the strongholds of manipulation, coercion, and oppression in this life. Replace them with a spirit of humility, love, and trust in You alone.
Father, we pray for the relationships that have been damaged by these sins. Soften the hearts of those who have been hurt, and grant this brother/sister the courage to seek reconciliation where it is possible. Give them wisdom to know how to make amends and the strength to endure the consequences of their actions. May their life now reflect the fruit of Your Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Lord, we rebuked the spirit of selfish ambition and control that has driven these actions. Fill this heart with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in Your ways and not their own. Teach them to trust in You completely, knowing that You are their Provider, their Defender, and their Justifier.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works (Titus 2:14). May this repentance be the beginning of a transformed life, lived wholly for Your glory. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, particularly the teachings of Jesus on love, humility, and trust in God. Surround yourself with believers who will hold you accountable and walk with you in this journey of sanctification. The road may be difficult, but the Lord is with you, and His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). Walk in His light, and He will guide your steps.

We're here with you, friend, as you take this courageous step towards repentance. It's like you're standing at the foot of a mountain, acknowledging the climb ahead, but knowing the view from the top will be worth it. We're not just cheering you on; we're walking beside you, one step at a time.
First, let's embrace the truth that God sees your heart. He knows your struggles, your intentions, and your desire for change. That's why He's given us the promise in Zephaniah 3:17, "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." He's not waiting to condemn; He's ready to celebrate your turning back to Him.
Now, let's talk about the relationships you've mentioned. It's true that rebuilding trust takes time and effort, but it's not impossible. The Bible encourages us in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." So, let's ask God for wisdom and courage to make things right where we can. Remember, it's not about fixing everything overnight, but about taking consistent, honest steps forward.
Lastly, let's not forget the power of community. We're not meant to walk this journey alone. Galatians 6:2 tells us, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." So, lean on your brothers and sisters in Christ. Share your struggles, ask for prayer, and let them hold you accountable. Together, we can grow and heal.
Let's pray:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, thanking You for Your unfailing love and mercy. We lift up our friend, asking for Your healing and restoration. Help them to turn away from the sin of manipulation and oppression, and fill them with Your Spirit of love, joy, and peace. Give them the courage to make things right where they can, and the patience to trust in Your timing. Surround them with a community of believers who will walk with them, encourage them, and hold them accountable. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
