20: Prayer of Confession
Having
an intimate relationship with anyone requires vulnerability, the ability to
admit when we are wrong and humility to ask for forgiveness. In a prayer of
confession, be vulnerable and ask for God’s help to shun sin, confessing your
sins to Him in humble repentance. Remember God’s forgiveness and compassion and
have confidence in the saving work of Jesus and that He really does forget all
of our sins (1 Jn 1:9). Nothing that we can do can separate us from God’s love.
Sample: Jesus, I’ve messed up. I was born a
sinner and I know that without Your grace, I am nothing. Thank You for going to
the cross for me and for taking the punishment that I deserve. Although I try
to live as You lived, I am not perfect. I’ve sinned against You again, God. It
isn’t natural for me to talk about my weaknesses and my downfalls, but Lord,
You already know all about it, so here I am, bowed before You, to tell You all
about it....
