Asking for Forgiveness

To N. conway, London----
The question you asked-it all depends on your back ground, if you're Jewish I say visit you local Rabbi, and if your christian I say-ask your priest....there's no short answer to your question....it can be sometimes a whole process...good luck!

You must first ask yourself. Then you must ask G-d. The answer you seek is immediate and there is no such thing. G-d moves in mysterious ways. Live every day as a new one, not just Rosh Hashanah andYom Kippur. Start your day with a smile and a happy attitude, and be thankful you have this day.
I wake with a smile and so many people have asked my how I can always be happy..the answer is simple..Things could always be worse....

i think that even though we dont go and ask the person we insulted or did did something wrong-we should right away turn to G-d and ask Him to forgive us-and help us do better...even if we are in the middle of an argument for example and you feel like making an out-burst ask G-d to help you not to, and to get over the test-right then and there, and you'll see G-d's help a lot!
Thank you so much, i love listening to all of your speeches over and over again!

Thank you Rabbi. This brought tears, as well as understanding.

This year is more difficult for me than some others. I am more emotional than usual. (and I am usually pretty emotional)

It is so good to be able to read, and hear familiar voices, words, and lessons. This is very appreciated.

I wish you the New Year you would wish yourself.

Our G-d is a Father of love and mercy. He is ready to forgive us the instant we ask forgiveness for any wrong doing. We should be repenting daily throughout the year, as we become aware of our wrongs and omissions. As you repent you will feel peace in your soul, and be more able to move forward in your spiritual progress.

Forgive yourself first. THEN ask for G-d's foregiveness. Just do all your repentance before YK, and do a few mitzvahs too-as good deeds are important. We don't always make or have the time, for good deeds, so do them ritualistically at this time of year. Once you start, you will want to do more. I know. And accept that you are imperfect, acknowledge that first, and then simply try to be in a better place in your actions at this time next year. Your questioning shows you are a good person, a person who cares about your behavior, so don't be too hard on yourself, and remember that He is a loving G-d & wants you to be happy!
L'shana tova to you and yours..wishing you health, happiness, prosperity, and inner peace from beautiful beverly hills, regards, pauli

Please let me know when is it the right time to ask for forgiveness. Does the period start with Erev Rosh Hashanah? Are there specific words to say? Do we just ask "please forgive me" or can we say more? I have said sorry last week, do I need to confirm it in this period?
I am very anxious to get rid of this heavy weight. What if I dont get an answer? I have to do it by text message on the mobile.
