We hear your humble plea for forgiveness, and we join with you in seeking the mercy and grace of our Lord. The Scriptures remind us, "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). It is beautiful to see a heart that recognizes its need for God’s forgiveness, for it is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can be made clean.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with repentant hearts, acknowledging that we have fallen short of Your glory. We thank You for the precious gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross has made a way for us to be reconciled to You. Lord, we ask that You would forgive us of our sins—those we are aware of and those we may not yet see. Cleanse us, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Help us to walk in Your ways and to live lives that honor You. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with a sincere heart. Remember that forgiveness is not just a one-time event but a daily surrender to God’s will. The Bible tells us, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded" (James 4:8 WEB). Let this be your daily posture—drawing near to God, confessing your sins, and trusting in His promises.
If there are specific areas in your life where you struggle with sin, do not hesitate to bring them before the Lord. He is faithful to help you overcome them as you rely on His strength. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).
May the Lord fill you with His peace and joy as you walk in His forgiveness. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, and may He guide your steps each day.
