Merciful Lord,
Pardon all my sins of this day, week, year,
all the sins of my life,
sins of early, middle, and
advanced years,
of omission and
commission,
of morose, peevish
and angry tempers,
of lip, life and
walk,
of hard-heartedness,
unbelief, presumption,
pride,
of unfaithfulness to
the souls of men,
of want of bold
decision in the cause of Christ,
of deficiency in
outspoken zeal for his glory,
of bringing dishonour
upon thy great name,
of deception,
injustice, untruthfulness
in my
dealings with others,
of impurity in
thought, word and deed,
of covetousness,
which is idolatry,
of substance unduly
hoarded, improvidently
squandered,
not consecrated to
the glory of thee,
the great
Giver;
sins in private and in the
family,
in study and
recreation, in the busy haunts
of
men,
in the study of thy
Word and in the neglect
of it,
in prayer
irreverently offered and coldly
withheld,
in time misspent,
in yielding to
Satan’s wiles,
in opening my heart
to his temptations,
in being unwatchful
when I know him nigh,
in quenching the Holy
Spirit;
sins against light and knowledge,
against conscience
and the restraints
of thy
Spirit,
against the law of
eternal love.
Pardon all my sins,
known and unknown,
felt and unfelt,
confessed and not confessed,
remembered or forgotten.
Good Lord, hear; and
hearing, forgive.
