R-21: A SINNER’S CONFESSION 認罪祈禱

Psalm 51:1-13, 17 (NKJV)

 

Have mercy upon me, O God,

According to Your lovingkindness;

According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,

Blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

And cleanse me from my sin.

 

For I acknowledge my transgressions,

And my sin is always before me.

Against You, You only, have I sinned,

And done this evil in Your sight—

That You may be found just when You speak,

And blameless when You judge.

 

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,

And in sin my mother conceived me.

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,

And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

 

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me hear joy and gladness,

That the bones You have broken may rejoice.

Hide Your face from my sins,

And blot out all my iniquities.

 

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from Your presence,

And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

 

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,

And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. 

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,

And sinners shall be converted to You.

 

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,

A broken and a contrite heart —

These, O God, You will not despise.

Lyrics - Cleanse Me (Search Me, O God)

Worship through Prayer

  1. Sin is awful. It not only can ravage my life but it can also hurt badly those around me. Lord, help me remember that the painful consequences of sin is never worth the pleasure it promises to give.

  2. May I not dishonor and bring shame to Your Name by sinning against You. Please forgive me for all my sins. Give me wisdom and strength to flee from temptations to sin. 

  3. Father, remind me of how costly is my new life. My redemption from death and sin was paid by the precious blood and death of my Savior Jesus. Let me not insult Your love and His great sacrifice by willfully sinning. Help me to humbly repent and pursue holiness.
