A Prayer of Sorrow after Confession

O Lord God of my salvation, the savior and benefactor of my soul, I am truly sorry for my every transgression and I firmly resolve never again to offend you by my sins, and sincerely promise to amend my way of life. Implant in me the fear of your blessed commandments, that I may trample down all carnal appetites and may lead a godly life, both thinking and doing such things as are well-pleasing unto you. I pray you, grant unto me the grace of your Holy Spirit, that thus strengthened, I may shun all evil deeds, works, words and thoughts, and may avoid all the snares of the evil one. Shine in my heart with the true sun of your righteousness, enlighten my mind and guard all my senses, that walking uprightly in the way of your statutes, I may attain unto life eternal. Amen.
