Prayer for the Forgiveness of Sin

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.

Please give us the strength and the comfort we need to get through this difficult time. Help us to remember that our loved ones are not gone, but are simply with You in heaven.
