Psalm 51:1-4 (NIV)
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

 

Our Part in Our Salvation

I know that I have sinned and fallen short of Your will for my life. I have hurt those I love; I have said things that I should not have said and done things I should not have done. I don’t even realize all the times that I fail You. Thank You, Lord, for Your great love and compassion that led You to die on that cross. When I repent and confess my sins, You wash me clean with Your blood and forgive me entirely. Help me to not carelessly return to my sins but to recognize when I am slipping off Your path of righteousness. In those times give me Your strength to help me remain faithful. Thank you for Your loving Grace that never gives up on me and will never leave me or forsake me. Amen
