Dear Bishop: I Don't Feel I Deserve to Be Forgiven
Dear Bishop,
I can't begin to tell you how scared I am right now. I know that you are in the place of the Savior and that gives me some comfort. I know that this is something that I have to do but that doesn't make it any easier.
I hate to tell you this but I slipped. I know I told you that I had stopped doing what I had been doing but I failed.
I am so discouraged right now and I don't feel like I deserve to be forgiven. I just need you to be understanding. I don't want you to judge me or be disappointed in me, I just want you to encourage me to be better. Your kindness has been vital to my healing and I am so thankful that you are my Bishop right now.
Even though I messed up, I know that through the Atonement, I can be healed. Before I told you I had stopped doing the awful things that I had been doing but I just couldn't stop. I know now that it is an addiction and I can't quit on my own. I need your help and your encouragement and also the help of my Savior to overcome this. I long to feel the Spirit with me always and I don't feel like that is possible while I am addicted.
I need your help Bishop.
Love,
A Beautiful Daughter of God

Thanks for your note. I think many of us have felt this way too. :)
