A Prayer of Repentance
A Prayer of Repentance
“O Lord our God, good and merciful, I acknowledge all my sins which I
have committed every day of my life, in thought, word and deed; in body
and soul alike. I am heartily sorry that I have ever offended thee, and I
sincerely repent; with tears I humbly pray thee, O Lord: of thy mercy
forgive me all my past transgressions and absolve me from them. I firmly
resolve, with the help of Thy Grace, to amend my way of life and to sin
no more; that I may walk in the way of the righteous and offer praise
and glory to the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.”
Oh, why do I find myself constantly praying this and similar prayers? Why must I be so depraved? It is wonderful to love a God who forgive me every time I fall, who picks me up and puts me back on my feet to take another step.
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
When we examine ourselves throughout the week/day/month/year, and note how often we fail and sin, it ought to amaze us to think that an all perfect and good God, that is, the One and Only Triune God, can condescend to our humanity and sinful nature to endure Hell on the Cross in all of the world’s place, chosen and un-chosen. Left to ourselves we spit in his face, disown him, and hate him; but because of his infinite mercy and love, some have been chosen into his fold and are thus guaranteed salvation, and no thought, word, or deed can thwart that endless love he has for his children and cause him to turn his back on us, his children. We are his forever, and we will be glorified in the end due to the working of his power:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him all creatures here below.
