a prayer for forgiveness of sins and repentance the Bible says in first John 5 verse 4 that whosoever is born of God sinneth not but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself and that the wicked one toucheth him not effectually from that assertion we can deduce the frailty and weakness of a man when it comes to living a life of absolute holiness everyone born of a woman is a sinner sin is an inherent trait in fact someone rightly said we are not sinners because we are sinning we are sinning because we are sinners forgiveness
therefore becomes God effective system of bringing man back to himself at every time if forgiveness is plucked out of our walk with God then every man will be bound for hell lamentations 3 verse 22 to 23 it is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his Compassion's fail nuts they are new every morning great is thy faithfulness however what guarantees that a man will be the recipient of divine forgiveness is genuine repentance anyone who is too big to repent from his or her sins will be too small to obtain forgiveness and mercy
from the loving God the Bible also established in Psalm 51 verse 17 that the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit a broken and a contrite heart O God thou wilt not despise herein is God's forgiveness being showcased in a repentant heart there is something God cannot despise it is a broken and a contrite hearts a heart that is full of godly sorrow yes the Bible says that the cry of a sinner is like The Barking of a dog in the ears of God nevertheless there is this cry of a sinner that God cannot pretend
not to hear it is the mercy cry mercy is the character of God and it is impossible for God to deny himself now let us cry unto God for forgiveness Lord God of heaven I humble myself before your presence and I ask that you cloth me with your righteousness for we all are as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags Lord if you are its mark iniquity there is none that can stand before you I do not come to you to your father in my righteousness but in the righteousness of your
holy son Jesus Christ whom you have made as a ransom for sin I present myself humbly before you please make me a recipient of your mercy father your word says in Ezekiel 33 verse 11 that you don't have any pleasures in the death of a sinner but that he turns from his sins and lives I hereby confess my unrighteousness and misdeeds before you for unto you and to you alone have I sinned and done wickedly I have broken your orders and transgressed your loss please forgive me Lord like the publican and Luke 18 verse 13
to 14 who could not lift up his eyes to you for the greatness of his sins so have I come my good works cannot justify me but your precious blood can Lord Jesus wash me and I will be clean pardon me and I shall be forgiven I come before you in the name of Jesus Christ and confess every sin and transgression I have committed before you oh lord have mercy on me father everything that I have done knowingly and unknowingly that does not meet the standards of your word I ask that you may have mercy
upon me Lord God Almighty forgive me Father lord your word says that you will in no wise cast away anyone that comes to you do not cast me away from your presence and do not withdraw your Holy Spirit from me remember the sacrifice of your son Jesus Christ on the cross and pardon my sins let your mercy avail of me O Lord I'm tired of rising and falling lord help me to stand firmly for you I don't want to keep hurting your heart Lord deliver me from all my purse settings since I received the grace
to walk triumphantly over sin like you did while you were physically on earth Lord I want to testify like Apostle Paul that I'm more than a conqueror over sin help me Lord to set my affection on things that are eternal rather on mundane things it says in your Holy Word in 1st Samuel 2 verse 9 he will keep the feet of his Saints and the wicked shall be silent in darkness for by strength shall no man prevail many times Lord I have made resolutions not to sin again but I have come to a dead end
my strength will ever fail me I keep sinning even when I know it's the wrong thing to do I know what is right but I like the strength to do it Lord it is you alone that can keep a man from falling not falling is not by might nor by power but by you spirit forgive me for the times I have sinned and grief the Holy Spirit I'm so sorry Lord I am that I have tried to get my own way and follow my own interests without you please forgive me Holy Spirit I yield myself
before you I surrender to your spirit father and asked that he operates in all aspect of my life that I may not fail you Lord God Almighty I surrender to the Holy Spirit so that I'm able to do what your word says in Galatians 5 verse 16 to walk by the spirit so that I will not gratify the desires of the flesh Lord I desire to live a life in a spirit so live a life whereby I am tender to your spirit let not my heart be hard like Pharaoh's heart in exodus' but let my
heart be tender towards you I love you Lord God Almighty with all my heart with everything that this in but I cannot live a life according to your standards without you Holy Spirit work in me father in Jesus name to do an act righteously is not in any mortal man only you Lord can impart the strength for righteous living I therefore cling to you and plead for the forgiveness of my past sins I also ask for strength and grace to sin no more your word says in Jeremiah 31 verse 34 and they shall teach no
more heavy man his neighbor and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest of them saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember the sin no more these are your word Lord God Almighty I humbly ask for the fulfillment of the scripture in my life as you have also promised in Isaiah 1 verse 18 that you will wash me and make me clean as white as snow I asked that he blot out my sins and never remember
them help me to know you more and impute your fear in me in Jesus name have mercy upon me O God according to thy loving-kindness according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions wash me throughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin for I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me against thee thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest and be clear when thou judgest behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did
my mother conceive me behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part vouch all to make me throw no wisdom purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean wash me and I shall be whiter than snow make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou has broken may rejoice hide thy face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from
me restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit Peyman may the Lord bless you and keep you may the Lord protect you and shield you may the Lord make his face shine upon you may the Lord gives strength may the Lord cover you with his wings may the Lord bless you and keep you may the Lord protect you and shield you may the Lord make his face shine upon you may the Lord gives strength may the Lord cover you with his wings [Music]
