A Prayer of Confession - The ACTS of Prayer

 

Each day I look to You and pray,
Confessing this day’s sin
And seeking strength to turn away,
To not do that again.
 
Some sins I know so very well,
You’d think I could let go,
But habit seems to be my guide,
Contrition, much less so.
 
I find my frustrations spill out
And from them anger flows.
If I don’t catch my thoughts quickly,
Then that anger just grows.
 
I worry often what comes next,
Instead of trusting You.
You’ve always kept close watch on me,
Your love’s guided me through.
 
Please help me, Lord, to turn away
From habits that that impede
My drawing closer to Your Word.
You are my greatest need.
 
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
