Often we fail to recognize the sins in our lives, simply because we are out of touch with what is going on in our own hearts. Introspection can be uncomfortable, and it is much easier just to think about something else. We don't really like the idea of God knowing what is in there wither, but guess what? We can't do anything about that. He has already seen it all. If we are going to make progress, if we are going to get rid of sin in our lives, we are going to have to get on His side, and get His help. Examine your heart, and ask God to show you where you are going wrong. Ask Him to help you see the sins and offenses that are displeasing to Him, and to show you how to deal with them. There is a great advantage to asking God to look at you that closely. Not only does He work on sin, He knows your anxious thoughts and soothes and helps you. He is completely trustworthy, and He knows how to help you better than anyone else possibly could.
It is a good idea to make a habit of self-examination and prayer. Set aside a time to meet with God, and really do it.
