The first and indispensable condition for scapegoatingsins is their confession. You should clearly understand that when you did something wrong, why you did it and whether it was possible not to do it. Look back at your life and the lives of people around you: is everything that you consider useful and enjoyable is that in fact? Whether it was from God, you should repent and be ashamed of your actions, hate your sinfulness and sincerely desire correction.
2
Many people are faced with the problem of what countssin, and what not. In this case, reading spiritual literature, the writings of the holy fathers of the Church or a conversation with a priest will help you. It is useful to re-read the Sermon on the Mount Sermon (Matthew 5: 3 - 7:27) to understand how far we are from the life ideal that the Lord gives us. Because the words of Christ are the norm of the Christian life. After repentance, you can assume that you have already taken the first step to recovery.

Realizing their sins, you must sincerely repent. Repentance is the most important condition for the remission of sins. You must change the image of your thoughts and way of life, renounce henceforth from sinful deeds and thoughts. To sin and then repent, and then again to sin is an even greater crime before God. Such a sin is greatly aggravated.
4
When you are mentally prepared, you will have to perform the main action on the way of absolution - to profess your sins in the church. It was to the priests that our Lord Jesus Christ bequeathed the forgiveness of sins: "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven "(Matthew 18: 18). Therefore, the priest has the right to let go of any sins, if only there was sincere and sincere repentance.

Confession is one of the main ecclesiasticalsacraments, therefore it is necessary to prepare for it with great responsibility and reverence. As a rule, one must confess in the church (if you are not a seriously ill person). You must be baptized in the Orthodox faith, wear a cross. When you are ready for Confession, read the prayer rule established in this case. Reading the Gospel will also help you to realize your own sinfulness and be imbued with the great trepidation and fear of God.

Coming to Confession, you must list your sins to the priest. Speaking should not be general words, but rather specific sins, which you see behind you. About what you will tell, then it will be released to you. If it's hard for you to talk or forget something, the priest can ask leading questions. Try not to repeat.
7
If the priest sees that you are hiding something or do not negotiate, he may not let go of your sins, sending you again to think about everything. Take any decision for granted, it will surely go to your good. If the priest accepted your Confession, he will read the permissive prayer above you, and sins your will be released. You must understand, than sincere repentance, the fuller is forgiveness and graceful gospel creation from God. Not a priest forgives your sins, and the Lord God himself. That's why it's useless to hide something and not talk it out.
Tip 2: How to pray for sins
Modern society often refers to religionas an element of culture. Among the parishioners of churches, young people are increasingly encountered, who believe that it is fashionable to be a believer. Such concepts as fasting, baptism have already become some indicators of the advancement and involvement in this or that subculture. However, very few people remember and know by heart the prayers or sacred commandments. Every day people sin, yielding to bad thoughts or intentions. It is generally believed that all bad deeds can be pampered in the future, but this is yet another fallacy. The evil done to yourself and others will always be with you. You can only truly repent of it.

If you decide to repent of your sins, betterask the priest for help. People who often go to church often have their confessor, but if you do not belong to the regular parishioners, then the priest can be chosen independently. First of all, pay attention to how the confession is going. Sometimes it is conducted by flow. That is, a person simply lists his sins, and the priest releases them all. This course of events is unlikely to suit you, so it is better to choose a confessor who will have time to talk with you or give advice.
2
Do not withhold anything. You came to cleanse yourself of guilt, so you need to tell everything, however painful and scary it may be.

Most likely, the priest will give you a number of instructions that must be strictly observed. It can be fasting, ordering a prayer or praying everyday.

One of the most important sacraments of Christianity is confession. On it the believer remembers his sins, repents in them and asks for forgiveness from the Lord. He who asks the Heavenly Father for mercy always receives it, but repentance must be sincere and active.

It is necessary to realize what exactly you were guilty of before the Lord and people. It is not only all known mortals sins - Murder, theft, adultery, abortion, butand everyday transgressions, through which our life is impregnated. A sinful sin is indifference and lack of compassion for people. If you judge and condemn your neighbor, you have sinned by condemnation. If you say that sinless and righteous - sinners are proud and self-praising. If you swear, smoke, drink, if you are irritable and angry, if you wish evil in the mind of the person who has offended you, you have sinned. Very widespread sin is a divination. And do not be misled by the fact that the fortune-teller prayed before revealing your future or solving your problems. She sins, and most likely knows about it. Know also that you, too, have fallen into sin. Only the Lord should ask for help, and only at His mercy to trust. It is indifference and neglect to prayer, mention of the Lord's name in vain, laziness and gluttony. Remember all your sins, write them on the sheet to avoid confusion andnot to forget in confession. And most importantly - kindly forgive your abusers. Christians of all faiths ask the Lord: "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." If you do not forgive the debtor, is it worth asking for forgiveness for your sins?
2
Usually a confession begins before the beginning of the Divine Liturgy. Listen attentively to the prayer for a general confession, in which the priest asks forgiveness from the Lord for numerous sins, and also mentally ask for forgiveness from God. Then begins an individual confession, when every penitent comes to the priest and confesses his sins to the Lord freely and involuntarily. Do not try to refer to circumstances or to the fact that someone else has sinned you. If you justify yourself, then you do not get an excuse from God. The priest allows sins repenting not by his own will, but by the name of the Lord. After the priest read the permissive prayer, kiss the Cross and the Gospel, lying on the analo.

If you want to receive Holy Communion, you need tofasting for at least three days. It is better to go to confession on the eve of the evening before, so that on the day of the Sacrament in the Divine service one should not be distracted by anything, completely concentrating on prayer. Before the Sacrament, on the eve of the Communion, in addition to the usual prayers for the dream to come, one must read the penitential canon, canons to the Blessed Virgin, the Guardian Angel and the acceptance of the Sacrament. Come to Communion by crossing your arms over your chest, with humility and gratitude to the Lord for his mercy. After the acceptance of the Sacrament, listen to the thanksgiving prayers. If you do not hear Church Slavonic by ear, read these prayers yourself before the icons. Try as long as possible to keep the purity that you received after the confession and the sacrament.
Tip 4: How to release the former
None of the relationships are insured against collapse. And most often parting takes place on the initiative of one of the parties. And the second person continues to love and suffer. Unfortunately, the affected side is often a woman. But it is much more difficult for her to let go of the former than for men to forget their love.

Council 5: What are the sins in Orthodoxy?
A sin in Orthodoxy is a serious misconduct of a person leading to the death of the human soul, the impossibility of eternal life in the kingdom of God. Almost all sins can be redeemed in confession.
Unforgivable sin
There is one sin that will forever closethe door to the kingdom of God is an expression of discontent and condemnation of his actions. An Orthodox Christian should always remember this and not make a fatal mistake. This sin is called pride and is considered the first-born. According to the Bible, Lucifer was banished from heaven to earth precisely because he dared to express discontent with the existing order.Other sins
In total there are 7 deadly sins. Pride is one of them. They are called mortals, since they destroy the life of the soul. If a person commits serious offenses too often, he can forever alienate himself from God and his true path. In this case, he can only hope for God's mercy and forgiveness. Greed is today the most common sin. A person is so absorbed in his material possessions (or lack thereof) that he forgets about his soul, that he is imperfect and he needs to rely on the help and mercy of God. Greed is exacerbated by the "dirty" money that a person earned by dishonest means. The trauma is another common sin. Sometimes an animal's beginning of a person takes precedence over his spiritual aspirations, and a person embarks on all grave things. In Orthodoxy, even a depraved look at a woman is considered to be fornication. Foul language, reading and viewing of pornographic materials is also considered sinful. Zavist is considered sinful only if it leads to causing harm to the neighbor. This is the so-called "black" envy. It is somewhat reminiscent of pride, as a person, envying someone, also expresses dissatisfaction with the existing order of things that is set by the god. Despondency leads a person to depression, and sometimes to suicide. It all begins with the fact that a person is simply too lazy to do good deeds and arrange their lives. This gradually turns into the fact that a person ceases to feel fear of God and rely on him. Anger clouds the mind of a person and completely takes possession of it. Because of him, a person is capable of anything, just to get rid of this unpleasant feeling. Often on the basis of anger, feuds and murders are committed. Of course, the case does not always end with assault, but hatred and enmity between people always remain. Gluttony is expressed in the use of drugs and alcohol, as well as non-compliance with prescribed posts.Tip 6: Is it considered a sin to masturbate
Masturbation or Masturbation from Ancient Timeswas perceived as a sinful and condemned occupation. However, modern statistics argue that masturbate at least once in their lives, 99% of men and more than 80% of women. Physicians in one voice say that such a discharge is useful for the physiology of the body and for the psyche. The Church most often bypasses such topics by party, and in the sacred writings of information on this issue is extremely small.
