“Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.” Daniel 9:3
Father,
We have sinned against you. As your children, we bow our hearts and our wills to You. We confess that we do not honor You first. We have neglected to live by your precepts. Often, we are more invested in ourselves, rather than needs of others. We live in ways that subvert Your holiness and ignore Your Truth. Have mercy on us, Father, and forgive. Turn our hearts ever closer to see Your face and to live in the reality of whoYou are.
Amen
