If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
1 John 1:8-10
Dear God, I have sin. I admit it. I am petty. I am selfish. I don’t worship and love you with all my heart, mind, and strength. I don’t love others as myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you for Jesus. Thank you that my repentant voice is heard through all of this. Thank you that you cleared a path for me to be in relationship with you through Jesus. Thank you that you are slowly molding me into something better. Thank you that you love me.
Holy Spirit, please be the Father’s presence with me today. Counsel me. Bring your love into the world through me. In each conversation, each interaction with someone, help me to channel you so that your kingdom will come into the world. So that your will will be done.
In Jesus’s name I pray,
Amen
