Prayer for Sin

Almighty God,

We come before You today confessing our sins and asking for Your forgiveness. We acknowledge that we have failed to live up to Your standards and have strayed from Your path. We have allowed evil to take root in our hearts and minds, and have acted in ways that do not glorify Your Name.

But, Lord, we know that You are merciful and loving, and that You are eager to forgive us when we turn to You in repentance. We ask that You would wash us clean of our sins and make us pure in Your sight. We renounce our old ways and commit to following You and Your commands from this day forward.

Lord, we also ask that You would protect us from the influence of evil and give us the strength to resist temptation. Help us to recognize the lies of the devil and to stand firm in the truth of Your Word. Grant us the wisdom to make right decisions and the courage to stand up for what is right, even in the face of opposition.

We trust in Your promises, Lord, that “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

We give You our whole heart, our whole mind, our whole soul and our whole strength, now and forever. Amen.
