Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your forgiveness and cleansing from all sin. We acknowledge that we have fallen short of your glory and we humbly ask for your mercy and grace to wash away our transgressions. Your Word reminds us in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We claim this promise and ask for your forgiveness.
Lord, we also ask for a humble and obedient heart. Help us to surrender our will to yours and to walk in humility before you. Your Word teaches us in James 4:10 that if we humble ourselves before you, you will exalt us. We desire to live a life that pleases you, and we recognize that true humility is the key to experiencing your blessings and favor.
We pray that you would transform our hearts and minds, shaping us into vessels of humility and obedience. May our thoughts, words, and actions reflect your love and grace. Help us to rely on your strength and guidance, knowing that apart from you, we can do nothing.
In the name of Jesus, we ask for these requests, trusting in your faithfulness and the power of his sacrifice on the cross. Amen.
