Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to you today with a heart in need of Your grace and mercy. Lord, You know the burdens I carry, the mistakes I have made, and the weight of my shortcomings. I seek Your forgiveness, knowing that through You, all things are made new.
Please, Lord, cleanse my heart and soul. Help me to let go of the guilt and regret that hold me back. Fill me with Your love and peace, reminding me that Your mercy is renewed each day. Guide me to forgive myself as You forgive me, and to extend that same grace to others who have wronged me.
Lord, I ask You to help me mend broken relationships and to approach each day with a spirit of compassion and understanding. Teach me to see others through Your eyes, with a heart full of love and a willingness to forgive.
Thank you, Father, for the boundless grace You offer me. Help me to walk in Your light, showing forgiveness and love in every step I take. I am eternally grateful for Your unwavering support and guidance.
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
