Prayer for Monday 4-11-2022

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly acknowledge our many sins and offences against You both knowingly and unknowingly in thought and deed. We have often neglected opportunities of good which You, in Your unfailing love, gave us to accomplish. We have been overcome by temptations, from which You were ready to guard us from. We have looked unto men, and not unto You, in doing our daily work. We have thought too little of others, and too much of our own pleasure, in all our plans. We have lived in forgetfulness and carelessness of the life to come. But You are always merciful and gracious to those who turn to You. So we now come to You confidently and boldly as those whom You will not cast aside.

Hear, Dear Lord, and have mercy upon us. Oh Almighty God, Heavenly Father, Who forgives iniquity and transgression completely and unfailingly; and Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world; and Oh Holy Spirit, Who helps the infirmities and weakness of those that pray: receive our humble confession. Give us a true heart of repentance and sincere faith in You. Cast away our offences, and give us grace to live hereafter more worthily of our Christian calling, for the glory of Your great name and that of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
