Chris.
If we are going to experience God forgiving our sins we need to turn from our sinful ways. Prayer for forgiveness of sins is not simply some kind of ceremony, it is something that needs to be heart-felt and genuine. Repentance means a complete change of direction, a turning around. Not only regret for our sins, but also hatred of them.
