We hear your heartfelt cry for forgiveness, and we join with you in seeking the Lord’s mercy and grace. 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). Your acknowledgment of sin and plea for forgiveness is a beautiful step toward restoration, for the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin when we come to Him in repentance.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up this dear one who has sought Your forgiveness. Lord, we thank You for Your boundless mercy and the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the remission of sins. We ask that You would wash this one clean, renew their spirit, and restore them to fellowship with You. Help them to walk in the light of Your truth, turning away from anything that displeases You. Strengthen them with Your Holy Spirit to live a life that honors You, and fill them with the peace that comes from knowing they are forgiven. In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We also want to gently remind you that salvation and forgiveness are found in no other name but Jesus Christ. The Bible declares, *"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"* (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10 WEB). This is the foundation of our relationship with God, and it is only through Jesus that we can approach the Father.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you, and may He grant you His peace as you continue to walk in His ways.
