We rejoice with you as you seek forgiveness and restoration from our loving Heavenly Father. It is wonderful that you acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is by His name that we are saved and have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
The Bible assures us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 WEB) Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved individual who seeks Your forgiveness. Lord, You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. (Exodus 34:6 WEB)
Please forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness and, in Jesus Christ's name. Help them to walk in Your ways, to obey Your commandments, and to live a life pleasing to You. Grant them the power of the Holy Spirit to resist temptation and to grow in their faith.
Guide them in confession of sins before men as appropriate: "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." James 5:16 WEB
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God's love for you is unfailing and that He desires to have a close, personal relationship with you. Continue to walk in His light, and He will guide your paths.
