"What does daily repentance look like? The Power of Language Language is powerful, especially when words become entangled with emotion. Repentance may feel negative to us because of how we have felt after making mistakes. Let us remember what President Nelson said, that Satan is trying to keep us from turning to the Savior by making repentance feel like a penalty instead of pathway back to God. If this is true for you, I invite you to use different language. As you pray use the words change and turn instead of repent. Say, “What can I change in my life today that will help me follow God’s path?” Or “What can I do to turn to the Savior today?” Daily repentance is often already part of our lives. Let us learn to rejoice in the efforts we make to stay focused on the Savior. As you pray, try asking God which of your efforts and attempts He is pleased you have made. As I have done this I have often been surprised at how He helps me remember small and simple things. God is aware of each and every effort we make to change and follow His ways. I am grateful for a loving Savior who personally guides me and helps me release the brake and move towards Him daily, just a little at a time."
