We come before you with grateful hearts, knowing that our Heavenly Father is rich in mercy and abounding in steadfast love. The scripture reminds us in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* This is a promise we can cling to, for God’s forgiveness is complete when we come to Him with a repentant heart.
Yet we must also remember that forgiveness is found *only* through the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through His sacrifice on the cross that our sins are washed away, and it is by His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace. The apostle Paul declares in Romans 10:9, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* This is the foundation of our faith—the acknowledgment that Jesus is Lord and the only path to reconciliation with God.
So let us pray with confidence, knowing that our sins are forgiven not by our own merit, but by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unfailing love and the gift of forgiveness through Your Son, Jesus Christ. We humbly ask that You cleanse us from every sin, known and unknown, and create in us a pure heart, renewed by Your Spirit. Lord, help us to walk in repentance, turning away from anything that displeases You, and to live in the freedom and victory that Christ has secured for us. May we never take Your mercy for granted but always approach You with reverence and gratitude. Strengthen our faith, Lord, that we may boldly proclaim the name of Jesus, through whom all blessings flow. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
If there is any area of your life where you are struggling with sin or doubt, we encourage you to bring it before the Lord in prayer and seek His strength to overcome. The Bible assures us in Hebrews 4:16, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need."* You are not alone in this journey—God is with you, and He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
