"Dear Lord, I pray that you will not remember the sins of my
youth, nor my transgressions. Please think of me according to
Your mercy and for Your goodness' sake, O LORD. Lord I turn from
all of those sins that I committed and I ask for Your help in
washing the memory and thoughts of that sin completely from my
mind. Please restore me to faithful obedience to Your Word, and
fill me with Your Holy Spirit anew, so that I may keep Your
commands all the days of my life." (Based on Psalm 25:7)
"Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart anew today, and I ask
forgiveness for all of my sin. Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins
and for forgiving me of them through your shed blood for me on
the cross. Please take away all the sinful "old things" in my heart
that defile me, especially ________(Fill in the Blank) and replace
them with the "good things" that you desire to grow in to my life.
Please wash away all the sinful crud and tendencies toward evil
and replace them with a hunger and thirst for your righteousness.
I need your help, Lord God, in living this new life in Christ. Please
send your Holy Spirit afresh into my life to help me, heal me, lead
me and transform me. In Jesus Christ I pray, Amen." (Mark 7:2123 & 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Forgive Me Father,
There are no words to express how filthy I feel every time I break
Your heart. The guilt and the shame are overwhelming! Lord, I
need Your touch right now. I am so sick of being born again and
still doing the things I hate doing. Like Paul, I am conflicted. For
I do not do what I want, but do the very thing that I
hate. (Romans 7:15) I am so sorry! Father, I ask for Your
forgiveness right now. I am shocked that my life has come to a
point where even some sins dont affect me at all. Father, I have
some hard layers on my heart that need peeling. Please give me
a 100% heart of flesh. The hardness is a barrier between us that I
cant stand! I love You and I am so regrettably sorry for my selfish
actions. Thank You for Your forgiveness, Lord.
Without
forgiveness I am nothing. With Your forgiveness I am whole
again. I praise Your Name! Amen
May the Lord be our sole guide, our single road of Truth and of
Life.
Accompany us when the situation requires determination and
valiant perseverance on our part.
Following your example, let us know how to observe wisely the
society of our time. Sustain us by your tender but demanding
nature,
so that we may commit all our strength to humanizing the world
so that God can make it divine.
May the careful attention and respect to all those who are
confided to you move us to extend this family spirit, the mark of
the Assumption of which you are the foundress.
Holiness is not a question of peaceful repose; rather, following
you, we make it happen, day after day.
Amen.
