Heavenly Father, I come before You today in humility and repentance. I confess that I have sinned against You, failing to love You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and have not loved my neighbors as myself.
I humbly ask for Your forgiveness and grace. By Your power, cleanse me of my sins and make me pure in Your sight. I renounce all unrighteousness and turn to You, the only source of true forgiveness and redemption.
Grant me the wisdom and strength to walk in Your ways and to obey Your commandments. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to live a life that brings honor and glory to Your name.
I put my trust in Your love and faithfulness, knowing that You are a merciful and gracious God. I give thanks for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
I pray this in His name, Amen.
