Daily Repentance

In our daily battles with the adversary, it's inevitable that we lose a skirmish here or there. On any given day, there will always be at least one mistake we've made or temptation we've given into. Among our countless decisions on any given day, there will be a few of which we need to repent. President Russell M. Nelson spoke of this need to repent in a talk titled "We Can Do Better and Be Better":

"Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to our individual progression than is a regular, daily focus on repentance. Repentance is not an event; it is a process."

The repentance process is the process of changing from the people we are now to the people God wants us to become, and this is a process that we should continue every day. Because we are still progressing and still have room to improve, we should make sure that repentance is part of our daily spiritual habits. Repentance is part of how we repair and reinforce our spiritual defenses, and it's something that we should make sure we remember to do daily.
