Heavenly Father,
I come before You today in humble repentance for my sins. I confess that I have not always lived according to Your will, and I have fallen short of Your glory. I have disobeyed Your commands and have not loved You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
I have also not loved my neighbors as myself and have harmed them in thought, word and deed. I am truly sorry for my actions and for the hurt and pain that I have caused. I ask for Your forgiveness and grace.
I believe in Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. I put my trust in Him and His sacrifice for my salvation. I ask that You would come into my heart, forgive my sins, and give me the power to live for You.
I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and my Lord. Amen.
