If the sin is serious enough, he may determine that your privileges in the Church should be restricted. For example, as part of your repentance process, he may ask you to refrain from partaking of the sacrament or exercising the priesthood for a period of time.
He will work with you and determine when you are worthy again to resume those sacred activities. Scott Grow of the Seventy. As a servant of the Lord, he will be kind and understanding as he listens to you. He will then help you through the repentance process. Scott Grow. If you are striving and working to repent, you are in the process of repenting. It is too difficult to change.
But there is One who does. He knows. He has felt your pain. We can repent. We can! To have the opportunity to feel forgiven is something very precious to me. You literally feel freed from a heavy weight in your heart, and you feel loved and comforted. It totally transforms you into another person, the person God wants you to be, the person you came to earth to fight to become, and even better!
Have courage! You might worry about what your bishop will say, what he will think of you. He only wants to help you. Your bishop will understand. If you have a problem, take care of it now. Some time ago I sinned, then said a prayer and thought I had truly repented. One day I felt a great feeling in my heart that I should have a very honest conversation with the bishop.
I talked to the bishop, and he guided me where I should improve. I fasted and offered fervent prayers. This time I felt I had truly repented. I know Heavenly Father cares for us and that the Atonement of Christ gives us true forgiveness when we repent and confess our sins. Jesus Christ endured the Atonement for us so that we could repent of our sins. The prophets have said countless times that no matter how big or small the sin, you can always repent.
The Savior wants you to repent, and He wants to help you. Through all my trials I know God loves me. To those who have fallen, pick yourself up.
You have leaders and people who love you and want you to be the best you can be. You can do this together. Always remember Jesus Christ loves you and is with you every step.
