Free me from my sin’s power

Lord, hear the cry of my heart
deep wounds within me,
weight I have carried my whole life
seeking to avoid the pain of my sin
its damage, its consequence,
Harm I have caused others and myself…
 
Lord, give me the courage, boldness,
to be open and honest, transparent,
to face my fears, my pride,
to confess my sins
to the ones I have harmed…
 
Free me from my sin’s power,
not just one but all of them
over the course of my whole life…
Help me to walk in the truth,
clear-eyed about the damage,
the hurt that I have caused…
 
Release me of the burden I carry
Sins I have committed
against God and man…
Help me to confess…
Help me to make amends…
