We are glad that you have come seeking forgiveness in Jesus Christ's name. It is only by His name that we can approach God the Father and seek forgiveness for our sins. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear soul who has asked for Your forgiveness. Lord, You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. You have promised that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9 WEB.
Father, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. We have fallen short of Your glory and we deserve Your wrath. But thank You, Lord, for Your Son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. We receive Your forgiveness and we choose to forgive others as You have forgiven us.
Help us, Lord, to turn from our wicked ways and to walk in Your paths. Give us the power to live holy lives, pleasing to You. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may be Your witnesses in this world.
We ask this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
Remember, friend, that God's forgiveness is always available to those who truly seek it. As Psalm 103:12 WEB says, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Trust in God's forgiveness and strive to live a life that honors Him.
If you have not already, make sure to believe in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. Salvation is a gift from God, and comes not by works, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
