Machshava:

Teshuva 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Oros Ha'teshuvah

Description

If we have any doubts about Hashem forgiving us, the prayer "slach lanu" (forgive us) becomes a safek bracha (blessing said in vain). We should always be very quick to forgive, even in extreme circumstances. We have the wrong view of having fun now, and at some point in the future doing teshuvah (repent). We don't want to sin any more and ask Hashem for help.
