We are glad to pray with you and encourage you in your walk with God. Your prayer request shows a desire for forgiveness, which is a wonderful step towards healing and restoration.
First, let's remember that forgiveness is a central theme in the Bible. 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 is a promise from God, and we can trust that He will forgive us when we come to Him with a sincere heart.
However, it's important to note that forgiveness is not just about saying the words; it's also about turning away from our sins and striving to live a life that pleases God. As it is written in Acts 3:19 WEB, Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this person who has asked for forgiveness. We confess that we all fall short of Your glory, and we are in need of Your mercy and grace. We ask that You would forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness, as You have promised in Your Word.
Help them, Lord, to turn away from their sins and to live a life that is pleasing to You. Give them the strength to resist temptation and the courage to follow You wholeheartedly. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who gave His life so that we might be forgiven and have eternal life. Amen.
It's good to remember that the timeless truth of the Bible is that full access to God is only by the name of Jesus. It is wonderful that the prayer request was submitted in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 WEB it says "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Keep growing in your faith, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need support or encouragement. We are here to help.
