“Remember Thy compassions, O Lord, and Thy mercies, as they have been since time immemorial. Do not remember the sin of my youth and my ignorance; according to Your mercy, remember me, for the sake of Your goodness, O Lord” (Ps. 25:6-7). Man sins a lot in his youth and ignorance. And when the repentant thinks about this and looks at the truth of God, his conscience becomes much troubled and sad. In this case, the one who has fallen behind his sins and who repents should remember God’s endless mercy and bounties, which he promised in His holy Word to all who repent, and by faith in Christ for the remission of sins to those who ask for the remission of sins - and often repeat with the Psalmist: “Remember Your compassions,” and so on.
