Confession Prayer

Our sin separates us from God, but Jesus made a way for us to be reunited with God by covering our sins by dying on the cross. When we accept the gift of salvation we confess our sin, and as Christians, confessing and repenting of sin is something we continue to do. By coming clean and repenting before God, He can work in our lives and transform us to be more like Him.

Assume a posture of humility, and without fear of condemnation or punishment, come sincerely to God confessing your sin regularly. Whether your sin feels big or small to you, your sin still affects your relationship with God. You get His attention when you tell Him your sin and turn from that sin to follow Him. After you confess, remind yourself and claim the forgiveness of Jesus in your life to wash you clean and make you new.

Guided Prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I confess all of my sins to You. I repent and turn away from them. I'm sorry for the wrong I have done. I confess the times I should have stepped up to do right and did nothing instead. I lay it all down at Your feet. I submit my thoughts, words, actions, and inactions to You. Thank You, God, for forgiving and making a way for me through Your Son, Jesus. Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God. You died on the cross for my sins and rose to life again on the third day. I confess all my sins and repent. I receive your forgiveness and ask You to cleanse me from all sin. Thank You for redeeming me, setting me free, making me holy, and giving my life purpose."
