Lord, have mercy.
In the quiet of my own heart, I know that I have sinned against You.
I have actively turned from You in these areas: _________________________________
I have tried to avoid You in these areas: _______________________________________
I am not obeying You completely in these areas: ________________________________
I’m deeply sorry that I have lived running from You. As an individual part of the whole of America, I ask You to heal my own heart.
I have made so many mistakes, and I now realize that I am just not able to earn “goodness” for a holy God. So, I ask that You would give me Your purity in exchange for all of my failures.
Jesus died to pay for everything wrong I’ve ever done, and so there is nothing more that I need to do, other than be honest with You about my mistakes and receive the free new life that You offer me. So, I receive Your cleaning. Thank You for it. And I ask You to live inside me, and fill me with a Spirit that can heal my life - and our land.
(I John 1:9)
