Dear God,
You are worthy of all praise. You have given me life even though I am unworthy and undeserving. You have taken my sin and made me guiltless. But right now I don’t feel guiltless, and my shame has made me forget who You made me to be. You have made me Your child and heir, and You have given me the greatest gift anyone could ask for—eternal life in your presence. But I have forgotten this in my sin; Lord please forgive this sin and grant me mercy. I do not deserve it, but I thank You that because of Your Son’s sacrifice I am freely forgiven and loved. Please grant me Your strength to resist this sin and other sins, and Holy Spirit please urge my soul to spend more time in prayer and praise because in Your presence is where I truly belong.
In Your name Jesus,
Amen and Amen.
