Lord, open my eyes to my true state before You. Highlight the dark spots in my heart needing to come into alignment with your precepts. Teach me through your Word to see and come to You in repentance. Remind me to inventory my actions and words throughout the day and bring anything to You that isn’t within your will and out of place in your purpose for my days. Grant me mercy when I fail You in your name and authority, Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.” (Psalm 51: 1 ESV)
