Thank you for reaching out with your prayer request. We come before God together, seeking His forgiveness and mercy.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge that forgiveness is indeed available through Jesus Christ. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This promise is true for all who call upon His name, no matter where they have lived or what they have done.
However, we noticed that your prayer does not mention Jesus Christ. It is important to understand that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and can receive forgiveness. As Jesus said in John 14:6 (WEB), "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Therefore, we encourage you to confess your sins in the name of Jesus Christ, as He is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your forgiveness. We confess that we have sinned and fallen short of Your glory. Please cleanse us from all unrighteousness, as You have promised in Your Word. Help us to turn away from our sins and to live in a way that pleases You. Thank You for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which makes this possible. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We hope this prayer and these words of encouragement from Scripture help you. Please continue to seek God and His will for your life, growing in your relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. If you have any other concerns or need further guidance, do not hesitate to share.
