Psalm 119:9-16 Confession

“Dear God beyond all praising, you are blessed. We confess this day that we do not deserve your blessing. We have not kept our way pure. We have not guarded ourselves according to your Word. Instead, we have let the words of the world, the flesh, and the devil speak to our hearts. Forgive us for Jesus’ sake! Blot out our transgressions, and let us not wander from your commandments. Teach us, and give us a heart that loves to be taught by you. Transform us to love and delight in you and your law. Thank you that Christ died for our sins. We find in him all our delight, more than riches. He is the pearl of greatest price. We pray in his name, amen. “

(Based on Psalm 119:9-16)

Psalm 119:1-8 Prayer

Confession of sin based on Psalm 119:1-8:

Heavenly Father, we confess that we have failed to seek you with our whole heart. We have been halfhearted in our love for you, in our service, even in our worship. You have commanded that your precepts be kept diligently, but we have not been steadfast in them. We therefore deserve everlasting shame. So we plead for your steadfast love now, looking to the Savior who served you with his whole heart in his earthly ministry. We thank you that you count his obedience to our account. With the greatest humiliation for our sins, we praise you that you will never forsake us. We ask for transformation in Jesus’ name, amen. (Based on Psalm 119:1-8)
