How wonderful that when we come to Jesus, just as we are, sorry for our sins, asking in faith for forgiveness, He will "abundantly pardon.". Isaiah 55:7. Yes, Jesus "is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.". 1 John 1:9.
Here is your comfort, your assurance, your surety. You come to Jesus just as you are, you ask forgiveness, then believe you are forgiven. You may accept it as a fact, for He has promised. It's done - you are forgiven.
"For thou, Lord, are good and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on You.".
Psalm 86:5

Faith and Feelings
Faith and feelings should not be confused. Faith is ours to exercise in the Word of God, regardless of our feelings, and often in opposition to our feelings.
Many fail to accept the pardon and assurance of the acceptance of Heaven, because they do not take God at His word, but instead turn their attention to changing moods and feelings.
Faith always precedes the joyful feelings which naturally result from the assurance of forgiveness and acceptance. The order is never reversed.

Our Friend in Trials and Sufferings
Sometimes,
we are called to pass through periods of trial and hardship. Our future seems hedged with
difficulties. Our faith and loyalty are
tested to the limit. But NEVER does God
desert us. He awaits the right moment to
come to our rescue.
Maybe you are troubled, perplexed, and
afraid; it may be because you have forgotten that you have Jesus for a
Friend. Jesus is “a very present help in
trouble” Psalm 46:1. Take Jesus at His
word and go boldly and with confidence and tell Jesus all that is on your
heart.

How to Study Holy Scripture
We should only study the Holy Scriptures with a prayer dependence on God, and a sincere desire to learn His will.
We must come with a humble and teachable attitude to obtain knowledge from the great I AM. Otherwise, evil angels will blind our minds and harden our hearts so that we will not be impressed with the truth.
Scripture should never be studied without prayer. Only the Holy Spirit can cause us to feel the importance of those things easy to be understood, or prevent us from twisting truths difficult of comprehension.
It is the office of holy angels to prepare the heart to comprehend God's Word that we shall be charmed with its beauty, admonished by its warnings, or animated and strengthened by its promises.
Based on The Great Controversy, 1888 edition, p 599, E G White

Conscious Dignity
It is the privilege of everyone to so live that God will approve and bless (her).
….It is not the will of your heavenly Father that you should ever be under condemnation and darkness.
It is not pleasing to God that you should demerit yourself.
…While we should not think of ourselves more highly than we ought, the Word of God does not condemn a proper self-respect.
…child of God, we should have a conscious dignity of character, in which pride and self-importance have no part.”
Excerpts from Daughters of God 142, E G White

The Throb that Vibrates to the Father's Heart
Jesus assures His disciples of God’s sympathy for them in their needs and weaknesses.
Not a sigh is breathed, not a pain felt, not a grief pierces the soul, but the throb vibrates to the Father’s heart. Desire of Ages, 356, E G White
