In Colossians 3:17 (KJV), Paul gives clear, concise advice regarding how we should conduct our lives,
Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
It's not complicated advice, but we seem to fail to heed it every day! What to do when we fail to live according in that manner? We must repent, and Psalm 79:8 offers a model for how to do that,
Remember not [our] iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily [come to] us: for we are brought very low.
This prayer, like Paul's instruction, is not complicated. God does not require that we be complicated! Rather, he requires that our hearts be aligned with his. Let us use the two verses posted here as guidance for how to live, and how to repent.
