God listens to your words but wants your heart. 4. God will help you pray. 5. Remember who God is. 6. He wants you to pray again and again. 7.
To truly confess your sins, it's very simple: Pray to God. Pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ His Son. Confess to Him your sins, acknowledge that you did wrong against Him, and repent of those sinful ways. Plead the blood of Jesus over yourself, and ask God for forgiveness of your sins.
It is not just requesting, but passionately appealing. In pleading, we are making our case before God as to why He should grant our prayer request. At first, this can seem awkward or inappropriate.
BIBLE TEXT: 7 Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Do not turn your back on me.

Put Him in Remembrance It means that as a covenant believer, you can stand before the throne of God when you pray and remind Him of His promises. You can lay your case legally before Him and plead your case as a lawyer would plead his case before a judge.
Pleading with God is that part of prayer (a subset of supplication) in which we argue our case with God, as Isaac Watts wonderfully says, “in a fervent yet humble manner.” It is not just petition, but petition well-reasoned. It is not just requesting, but passionately appealing.
Praying in the Spirit means that the Spirit empowers the prayer and carries it to the Father in the name of Jesus. The prayer has a living quality characterized by warmth and freedom and a sense of exchange. We realize that we are in God's presence speaking to God.
