Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of ###, who humbly seeks your forgiveness. Lord, we acknowledge that we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory. We confess our shortcomings and ask for your mercy and grace to wash away our sins.
Father, just as the judge in the story realized the need to come to you in the name of Jesus for forgiveness, we too recognize that there is no other way to approach you but through the atoning sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ. We understand that it is only through faith in Jesus that we can find forgiveness and reconciliation with you.
We ask, Lord, that you would forgive ### for any wrongdoings, mistakes, or sins committed. We pray that you would cleanse their heart and mind, and grant them the assurance of your forgiveness. Help them to fully embrace the truth that forgiveness is found in Jesus alone.
Father, we also pray for strength and guidance for ### as they seek to live a life that honors you. May they walk in the path of righteousness, guided by your Holy Spirit. Grant them the wisdom to make choices that align with your will and the courage to resist temptation.
Lord, we thank you for your unfailing love and the promise that when we ask anything according to your will, you hear us. We trust in your faithfulness and believe that you will answer this prayer according to your perfect plan.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
