You assure us through Isaiah, our God

“I have dispelled your faults like a cloud
your sins like a mist
Come back to me, for I have redeemed you.”[Isaiah 44:22]

Furthermore, You proclaim:

“Happy those whose crimes are forgiven, whose sins are blotted out; happy the man whom the Lord considers sinless.”[Psalm 31:1-2] For through Your Son, You have “cancelled every record of the debt that we had to pay; He has done away with it by nailing it to the cross.” [Colossians 2:14-15]

Therefore, our God it is not presumptuous to ask that we may be healed of our faults and freed from our sin. Indeed, You have said:

“No need to recall the past,
no need to think about what was before.
See I am doing a new deed,
even now, it comes to light; can you not see it?
Yes, I am making a road in the wilderness,
paths in the wild.” [Isaiah 43:18-19]

Although we must strive through the Spirit to walk the way of Your Son, You assure us that we are not alone or dependent upon our efforts alone:

For I, … your God,
I am holding you by the right hand;
I tell you, do not be afraid, I will help you.
Do not be afraid…poor worm…
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.”** [Isaiah 41:13-14]
