God does not remember your sins
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
ISAIAH 43:25–26
God does not remember that you have ever done anything wrong, so why should you remember it? If you can come to the Lord without a sense of sin-consciousness, you can come with faith and boldness and get your prayer heard and answered. Do you see what confidence that gives you? As long as you come under condemnation and with a sense of spiritual inferiority, you are going to come tongue-tied and fear-filled, and you won’t get anywhere.
Many people say when praying to receive the Holy Spirit or to receive healing, “I don’t know if the Lord will hear me. I’ve failed. I’m such a failure.” Well, He doesn’t know that you are a failure, so don’t tell Him. He plainly said here, “I will not remember your sins.” He does not remember that you have done anything wrong, so why should you remind Him of it? To remind Him that you have done wrong is to accuse Him of being a liar. He does not remember, so don’t you remember. Then with confidence you can come before the throne of grace!
