Dear God,
Please forgive
me of my sins.
Remove anything
from my heart that
is not like You.
Prayer of repentance and purification
Heavenly Father, in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, I come before Your throne of grace this morning with a humble and broken heart.
Father, I have sinned. I have sinned in my thoughts, in my words, in my actions, and in the things I failed to do. Forgive me, O Lord.
Forgive me for the sins I remember and the sins I have forgotten. Forgive me for the sins I committed knowingly and the ones I committed unknowingly. Forgive me for the times I have disappointed You. Forgive me for the times I knew what was right and chose what was wrong.
Wash me, O Lord. Wash me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross of Calvary for me. Let that blood wash away every stain, every guilt, every shame. Cleanse me and make me whiter than snow.
Father, today I ask You to search me. Search my heart deeply, O Lord. Your Word says in Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me."
See if there is any pride in me, remove it. See if there is any anger, any unforgiveness, any bitterness I am holding onto — take it away, Lord. See if there is jealousy, envy, malice, hatred, lust, lying, gossip, fear, doubt, worry — anything that is not like You, Father, uproot it from my heart today.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Take away my heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh — a heart that beats for You, a heart that loves what You love and hates what You hate.
Empty me of myself, Lord. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Fill me with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Let my life begin to look like You. Let my words sound like You. Let my thoughts be Your thoughts.
I want to walk closer with You. I want to be holy, for You are holy. Help me to turn away from sin completely and to walk in righteousness all the days of my life.
Thank You, Father, for forgiving me. Thank You for Your mercy that never ends. Thank You for not treating me as my sins deserve. I receive Your forgiveness and Your grace right now.
I am forgiven. I am cleansed. I am made new. I am Yours.
In the mighty, powerful name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior, I pray,
Amen and Amen.
