When I was about 12 years old one day I suddenly felt the need to confess everything to my mother that I had done over the years. Such as accidentally breaking things or messing up something. The thing was, after I told her she winked at me and said, "I already knew, but thank you for actually telling me". She knew the things I had done, but she was glad that I conversed it with her.

God is the same way. He knows our wants, desires and sins. However, He still wants us to talk with Him about them. He wants to have a relationship with us about all aspects of our lives. There is a necessary need to ask for forgivness from our sins, but we have to ask for it. He won't just give it to us. God wants to be a part of our day; think of Him as a friend. Someone you want to share the moments of your day with. He really does care and depending on what you have to say each day it could take less than five minutes out of your busy day to just have a conversation with God.
