"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight.... Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me that joy of your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit." Psalm 51:1 - 4; 10 - 12
Prayer: Heavenly Father, We know that You love your creation and forgives all the sins of those who seek Your forgiveness. Create in us and make us new, contrite in our hearts, that we confess our sins and misdeeds, and seek our forgiveness in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Be merciful to us, O Lord, and we pray that we grow in our love and trust in You. In Christ's name, Amen.
