The books of Kings and Chronicles run through a list of kings of ancient Judah and Israel, along with descriptions of their reigns. In addition, those books usually provide a note of the kings' characters. For example, 2 Chronicles 36:9 (KJV) reads,
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
To me, the most jarring part of this passage is that Jehoiachin was only eight years old! How can an eight-year-old commit acts that are "evil"? And, moreover, he managed to commit those "evil" acts in only three months of rule!
How many of us can remember our sins from age eight? For that matter, can we recount our less-than-holy actions from even a month ago? Are we really held to account for sins we can't remember? David seemed to lament this very point (Psalm 40:12, KJV),
Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me ... they are more than the hairs of mine head.
So what to do? Yes, we will be held to account for all sins, but trying to form a lengthy list of them is likely a losing endeavor. Instead, we look to the cross and confess that our entire being tends toward sinful desires and actions. Something like Psalm 32:5 (KJV),
I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
