Forgiveness Prayer

Dear Lord,

I come before You today acknowledging my mistakes and asking for Your forgiveness. I confess that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory. I am aware that Your love and mercy are boundless, and I put my trust in Your grace to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

Father, I humbly request that You grant me the gift of repentance and renew a right spirit within me. I turn away from my wicked ways and turn towards You, trusting in Your goodness and faithfulness.

I pray that You would empower me to forgive those who have wronged me, just as You have forgiven me. Help me to let go of any bitterness or resentment in my heart, and to show love and compassion to all those around me.

Lord, I give thanks to You for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I believe in His resurrection and that He is the way, the truth, and the life.

I trust in Your promise that if I confess my sins, You are faithful and just to forgive me and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
