Forgiveness Prayers
Prayers seeking God's mercy, repentance, and lasting freedom from sin.
These forgiveness prayers turn to God with honest confession, asking for mercy on sins committed knowingly and unknowingly, and for repentance that leads to real, lasting change rather than repeated apology. Several also pray for a nation and a heart in need of revival. They pair well with faith prayers for the walk that follows.
