"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." -Psalm 51:17, KJV.

All to often, we think we have to make some grand gesture to God to get Him to forgive our sins. In reality, all God expects is repentance. All we need to do for forgiveness is ask Him to forgive our sins.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." -1 John 1:9, KJV.
