Prayer Asking Almighty God for Forgiveness
Father who lives and reigns over us,
your children here on earth,
I ask you to forgive my sins
and those of my loved ones.
I know that I have sinned
and often wandered from the path you marked for us,
for I am human and have many weaknesses.
Lord, you created me and gave me life;
I ask you to forgive me and keep me close to you.
My Father, do not let evil tempt me.
Calm my soul and protect me from all harm.
My God, you are like a tree whose shade shelters me,
a faithful brother who guides me at every crossroads.
Forgive me when I have failed you and keep me safe.
May your light illuminate my path through life.
Amen.
