We join with you in seeking the Lord’s mercy and forgiveness, for it is written, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* (1 John 1:9, WEB). How gracious is our God, who does not treat us as our sins deserve but removes them as far as the east is from the west when we repent!
Yet we must also encourage you to approach God with reverence, for He is holy. While we understand the urgency of your heart, let us remember that prayer is not merely a ritual but a sacred conversation with our Heavenly Father. The name of Jesus Christ is powerful and must be honored—not reduced to an abbreviation or casual mention. It is through *His name alone* that we have access to the throne of grace, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Let us never take for granted the price paid for our forgiveness—Jesus’ precious blood shed on the cross.
We also notice you asked for forgiveness of *"all sins from yesterday."* While it is good to seek daily cleansing, let us examine our hearts: Are we truly repentant, turning away from sin, or do we treat God’s grace as a license to repeat the same offenses? *"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?"* (Romans 6:1-2, WEB). Let this be a moment not just of confession, but of transformation—asking the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you need to walk in obedience.
**Together, we pray:**
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unfailing mercy and the gift of forgiveness through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking that You would cleanse them from every sin—known and unknown—committed yesterday and every day. Search their heart, O God, and reveal any unconfessed sin or pattern of disobedience that needs to be surrendered to You. Grant them a spirit of true repentance, not just sorrow for consequences, but a broken and contrite heart that turns wholly to You.
Strengthen them to walk in righteousness today, empowered by Your Holy Spirit. Teach them to number their days, that they may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). Let them not treat Your grace lightly, but may they live in awe of Your holiness, striving to honor You in thought, word, and deed. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
**Encouragement for You:**
Beloved, God’s forgiveness is complete, but His call is higher—*"But as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior, because it is written, ‘You shall be holy; for I am holy.’"* (1 Peter 1:15-16, WEB). Walk today in the freedom Christ has purchased for you, and let your life reflect His grace to a watching world. If there are specific sins you struggle with, we urge you to seek accountability and immerse yourself in Scripture. You are not alone in this journey—we are standing with you in prayer!
