An honest prayer for forgiveness of sins (The strongest prayer when you need forgiveness and redemption)

Your sins and shortcomings should not affect your relationship with the Lord, and now that you have recognized your faults before the Lord, go before Him with a genuine prayer, asking for His forgiveness.

Humble before the Lord, and let us pray.

Dear Merciful Father,

Loving and merciful Father, I have carried the burden of guilt and shame for my sins for a long time, but today, Lord, I recognize You as my savior and release it all.

Several times, I have sinned and gone against Your will, dear Lord, but now I humbly ask for Your forgiveness.

As I go on with a renewed and clean spirit, please guide me on the right path so that I may follow Your commands. The devil plots to steal the lives of those committed to your calling; he plans to steal, kill, and destroy, but Lord, I know nothing is more significant than You.

For that, Father, I believe You will bring to shame the devil’s plans to make me sin.

Protect me from evil thoughts; instead, fill my heart with good plans for my life. Let me lead by example and forgive those who have wronged me. Bring the peace of Jesus into my life and draw me closer to You.

Please help me speak gracious things into my life and not condemn myself; let me aspire to talk about positivity.

Lord, as the scripture says, we should forgive each other as You have done to us; today, I pray for those who have done me wrong.

Please change their hearts, rid them of all anger and bitterness, and replace these negative emotions with peace and love.

Now that I know of my mistakes, let me learn from them. Help me grow into a faithful servant and not fall back on my previous mistakes.

Let me walk away from my past sins without the burden of guilt that may pull me back from walking in Your footsteps.

Thank you for sending Your only son to die on the cross for our sins. With this, I know You have forgiven all my sins, and I invite You back into my life.

In Jesus name, I pray.

Amen.
