Prayer for forgiveness

Dear Father God, O Lord, my God, I come humbly before You, asking that You cleanse my heart of every fault and renew a right spirit within me. Please, Lord, forgive me for the thoughts I have held, the words I have spoken, and the actions I have taken that have not brought glory to You or have strayed from Your commands. Specifically, I confess to You my thoughts about others who seem to succeed through dishonesty or harm. I acknowledge the words, thoughts, and actions within me that are not pleasing to You, Lord, and I ask Your forgiveness. I repent of these and choose to turn from this path, desiring to live fully in Your way. I trust in Your mercy, for You are gracious and slow to anger, full of compassion and loving-kindness. Forgive me, Lord, for any times I have taken Your mercy for granted. Lord, You alone "know the secrets of the heart." Reveal to me any hidden sins that I may not yet see. Show me any place in my life where sin remains unrecognised. Open my eyes to the truth about myself, that I may clearly see and understand it. Search my soul, O God, and lay bare my innermost motives, helping me to discern where I need change. I am willing, Lord, to surrender any unfruitful patterns that do not align with Your best plan for my life. Give me strength to make the necessary changes and courage to align my heart with Yours. As I pray, I ask for Your mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness and the greatness of Your compassion. Blot out my transgressions, wash me thoroughly from all iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Cleanse me from hidden faults and lead me in the way everlasting. O Lord, my God, I desire to stand clean and right before You. I receive Your forgiveness now, with gratitude, so that I may experience times of refreshing in Your holy presence. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
