You are. What? Scripture tells us that all people are wicked. We are all sinners, so you are also a sinner. That means that you are prone to disobey and disappoint God, even if you don&#8217;t mean to or want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is hope.

When you recognize your need for forgiveness and ask God, he will forgive you. Don&#8217;t get so filled up with pride that you don&#8217;t think you need God&#8217;s forgiveness. Be honest with God and yourself. Admit that you mess up. Admit that you need his forgiveness. Ask God to forgive you and to help you do better. He promises to forgive you and to help you learn to obey him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dear God, I need your help. I can&#8217;t obey your commands without your strength and help in my life.
