MAY we pray

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a repentant heart. I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. I have fallen short of Your glorious standards and violated Your holy commands. Please forgive me for all my transgressions.

Lord, I am truly sorry for my sins and I turn away from them completely. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and create in me a pure heart. Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Help me to hate sin as You hate sin, and to cling to Your truth.

I repent of my pride, my selfishness, my lust, my greed, my envy, my anger, my bitterness, and every sinful attitude and action. Purify my mind, guard my eyes and mouth, and make me an instrument of Your righteousness.

Thank You for Your amazing grace that allows me to come before Your throne of grace. Thank You for the precious blood of Jesus Christ that washes away my sin. I am eternally grateful that His sacrifice on the cross makes forgiveness and restoration possible.

From this day forward, I surrender my life completely to You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to walk in obedience and holiness. May the light of Christ shine through me. Use me for Your Kingdom purposes, for Your glory alone.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray,

Amen.
