Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.
What mistakes have you made in your youth? David was suffering from affliction for his sins but sought God's mercy. David, though the man after God's heart, made mistakes. Once upon a time he sought what didn't belong to him and with it came consequences for many years for his family. We all make mistakes. But like David, do we acknowledge that we've messed up and ask God for forgiveness? Or are we still covering it up? Which is what David did in the beginning. We can't hide anything from God because he already knows. What God wants from us is for us to open our mouths and acknowledge to Him what we've done. But out of pride, many of us don't. Unfortunately, some of us are still repeating the same mistakes of our youth because we've never stopped to understand that the problem isn't always external, but might be internal. Sometimes it's us that needs to change before the external circumstances change.
What mistakes have you made in your youth that you find you are still making? Or rather what results were you receiving in your youth that you still receive now? It may be time to lay the behavior down before God and say, "I know longer want this or desire to do this. Have mercy on me Lord and show me how to be the person you want me to be." When you ask earnestly with the faith that you will receive, know that it is done.
