Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, on behalf of Hornther, who is seeking Your mercy and forgiveness. Lord, we acknowledge that we are all sinners in need of Your grace and redemption. We confess that our sins have become a heavy burden upon us, weighing us down and causing us distress.
In Luke 18:13, the publican cried out, "God be merciful to me, a sinner!" We echo this plea, recognizing our own unworthiness and the need for Your mercy to cleanse us from our transgressions. We humbly ask for Your forgiveness, knowing that it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we can find redemption and reconciliation with You.
Father, we are reminded of the words in the Book of Common Prayer, where we confess, "The remembrance of our misdoings is grievous unto us; the burden is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past." We plead for Your mercy, knowing that You are a loving and compassionate God who desires to forgive and restore us.
We pray that Hornther may come to You, Lord, in faith and surrender, acknowledging their sins and seeking Your forgiveness. May they find solace and peace in the assurance that through Jesus, a sinner can draw near to You. Help them to trust in Your promises and to approach You with confidence, knowing that You hear and answer prayers offered in the name of Jesus.
We ask, Lord, that You would grant Hornther the forgiveness they seek, washing away their sins and lifting the heavy burden from their heart. Fill them with Your peace and assurance of salvation, knowing that in Christ, they are made new and reconciled to You.
We thank You, Lord, for Your boundless mercy and grace. May Hornther experience the freedom and joy that comes from receiving Your forgiveness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
