O LORD GOD Heavenly FATHER, Have mercy on me, a your beloved child for i sometimes sin against You unknowingly and sometimes knowingly. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. Teach me wisdom in the secret place of my heart, and give me a renewed mind. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. May my lips be opened to sing your praise, and may my life be a sacrifice of worship to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
