Prayer For God To Forgive My Sins
Forgive me my sins, O Lord; forgive me the sins of my youth and the sins of mine age, the sins of my soul and the sins of my body, my secret and my whispering sins, the sins I have done to please myself and the sins I have done to please others. Forgive those sins which I know, and the sins which I know not; forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all of Thy great goodness. Amen
Dear Merciful Lord,
Thank you for your gift of forgiveness. Your only Son loved me enough to come to earth and experience the worst pain imaginable so I could be forgiven. Your mercy flows to me in spite of my faults and failures. Your Word says to clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. (Col. 3:14) Help me demonstrate unconditional love today, even to those who hurt me.
I understand that even though I feel scarred, my emotions don't have to control my actions. Father, may Your sweet words saturate my mind and direct my thoughts. Help me release the hurt and begin to love as Jesus loves. I want to see my offender through my Savior's eyes. If I can be forgiven, so can he. I understand there are no levels to your love. We are all your children, and your desire is that none of us should perish.
You teach us to let the peace that comes from Christ rule in our hearts. (Col. 3:15) When I forgive in words, allow your Holy Spirit to fill my heart with peace. I pray this peace that only comes from Jesus will rule in my heart, keeping out doubt and questions. And above all, I am thankful. Not just today, not just this week, but always. Thank you for the reminder, Always be thankful. (Col. 3:15) With gratitude I can draw closer to you and let go of unforgiveness. With gratitude I can see the person who caused my pain as a child of the Most High God. Loved and accepted. Help me find the compassion that comes with true forgiveness.
And when I see the person who hurt me, bring this prayer back to my remembrance, so I can take any ungodly thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5) And may the confidence of Christ in my heart guide me into the freedom of forgiveness. I praise you for the work you are doing in my life, teaching and perfecting my faith. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Loving Father, I am upset. I am hurt. This person did this thing to me, and I cannot understand why. I feel so betrayed, and I know you command that I should forgive them, but I don't know how. Father, I just don't know how to get past these emotions. How do You do it? How do You constantly forgive us when we mess up and hurt You? Lord, I ask that you give me the power to forgive.
Heavenly Father, I ask that you put in my heart a spirit of forgiveness. Lord, I know this person said they were sorry. They understand what they did was wrong. I may never forget what they did, and I'm sure our relationship will never be the same again, but I don't want to live with this burden of anger and hatred any more. Father, I want to forgive. Please, Lord, help my heart and mind accept it. In your Name. Amen.
Loving Father, please forgive me for what I have done against you. Father, I offer up this forgiveness prayer in hopes that you will look at my mistakes and know that I did not mean to hurt you. I know you know I'm not perfect. Lord, I know that what I did went against you, but I hope that you will forgive me, just as you forgive others like me. Father, I will try, to change. Also I will make every attempt to not give into temptation again.
Lord, I acknowledge that you are the most important thing in my life, Lord, and I know that what I did disappointed You. For that I ask, God, that you grant me counsel in the future. I ask for the discerning ear and open heart to hear and feel what you are instructing me to do. I pray that I will have the understanding to remember this time and that you give me the strength to go down a different path. Lord, thank you for all you do for me. I pray that you shower your grace upon me. In your Name. Amen.
Heavenly Father God, I come to ask your forgiveness. Forgive me, oh Lord for everything that I have done. Jesus, please hear my prayers. Help me to grow from strength to strength to become the person you want me to be.
You know my heart's desire, you know every detail of my life. I surrender everything to you, Lord Jesus. Create in me a clean heart, so I will not continue to do the things that do not line up with your word.
Luke 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
O Lord, Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Saviour, forgive my sins, just as You forgave Peter's denial and those who crucified You. Count not my transgressions, but, rather, my tears of repentance. Remember not my iniquities, but, more especially, my sorrow for the offenses I have committed against You. I long to be true to Your Word, and pray that You will love me and come to make Your dwelling place within me. I promise to give You praise and glory in love and in service all the days of my life.
Lord Jesus, for too long I've kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.
