Occasional Prayers
A Prayer of Repentance
Pray by candlelightGod, my good and loving Lord, I acknowledge all the sins which I have
committed every day in my life, whether in thought, word or deed. I ask
for forgiveness from the depths of my heart for offending You and others
and repent of my old ways. Help me by Your grace to change, to sin no
more and to walk in the way of righteousness and to praise and glorify
Your Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Lord my God, I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word
and deed. I have also omitted to do what Your holy law requires of me.
But now with repentance and contrition I turn again to Your love and
mercy. I entreat You to forgive me all my transgressions and to cleanse
me from all my sins. Lord, fill my heart with the light of Your truth.
Strengthen my will by Your grace. Teach me both to desire and to do only
what pleases You. Amen.
