Prayer of Repentance and Restoration

Gracious Father,

We come before You, our hearts laid bare, Aware of our sins, our offenses against You. Forgive us, Lord, for we have strayed, And in our wandering, we have wounded Your heart.

Our actions ripple outward, impacting others, Our relationships marred by our transgressions. Yet Your grace abounds, a river deep and wide, Inviting us to turn from darkness to Your light.

Humbly, we seek Your mercy, O God, Knowing that You stand ready to forgive. May our repentance be genuine, honest, No room for hollow excuses that hinder growth.

Restore us, Lord, as we turn toward You, Joy dancing forth like a sunrise after night. Your compassion knows no bounds, And undeservedly, You transform our brokenness.

Hope ignites within us—a beacon on life’s sea, For Your mercy is abundant, life-changing. May we find solace in Your grace, And may our hearts ever seek restoration in You.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
