We can eliminate some pride by accepting what Scripture states. We can immediately exchange our thoughts about not being saved to His Word "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9 (Rom 12:2, II Cor 10:5)
We can put this Scripture in first person and say - Since I have confessed my sins, Yahweh has been faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. There are other Scriptures about confessing our sins as in The Lord's Prayer. He isn't caught off guard. None of our sins are more than what Yahweh is able to forgive. When we confess them, then He forgives and cleanses all. Then we're putting our emphasis where it should be - on Him. We receive His forgiveness (Acts 26:18) based on His word.
Doesn't that make us realize even more how He loves us? Plus we exchange a spirit of heaviness by praising Him (Isa 61:3). If you haven't read it lately, encourage reading Psa 145.
