People who conceal their sins will not prosper,but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
—Proverbs 28:13 (NLT)
Merciful and Compassionate LORD,
Keep me from the foolishness of trying to conceal my sins. Help me to confess and turn from them, so that I will receive mercy.
By Your Holy Spirit, convict me of my sins—and expose the evil that they contain and the power that they have to destroy me—so that I might learn from my sins and not repeat them.
Help me willingly and openly confess my sins to You, for You already know them; tremble before Your justice, knowing that I deserve punishment; and fall upon Your mercy and grace, that I may be delivered from them through Your promise of forgiveness.
Help me to truly repent of my sins—to turn away from them and run the other direction, straight into Your merciful and compassionate arms of love. Then let me glorify You for the unmerited favor that You pour over me.
Keep me from the foolishness of trying to conceal my sins. Help me to confess and turn from them, so that I will receive mercy.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
