Let the words of the Psalmist be a comfort to you,
Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin. (Psalm 51:1-2 WEB)
and it is also written,
I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26 WEB)
Let us pray together.
Almighty God, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who has humbly asked for your forgiveness and a change of heart. We know that your mercy is new every morning, and your faithfulness is great. We ask that you wash away any transgressions, cleanse from all sin, and grant a new heart and a new spirit. Transform this heart of stone into a heart of flesh, willing and eager to serve you.
Guide this dear one to the Word and to biblical principles in every area of life, and to be in agreement with you. Guide to a life of obedience and surrender to your will.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God's promise to us is clear:
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)
Trust in his forgiveness and allow his transforming power to work in your life.
