You know my folly, O God;
my guilt is not hidden from you (Psalm 69:5 NIV).

Dear God, I confess that I have sinned.
I know what is right, but I my selfishness
I neglect to do it.
I speak words that wound.
I make jokes that hurt.
I have not been a good daughter, sister, wife, mother.
I’ve fallen short as a teacher and a writer.
Every role you’ve given me has been tainted by my shortcomings.

In Your patience, You have taught me,
but I am stubborn and a slow learner.
I mourn that there is no good in me.
It is inconceivable that You should love me,
but You have forgiven me.
You have accepted Jesus’ life in payment for my sins.
You exchanged my guilt for salvation.

Lord, You bought me; I am Yours.
Transform me into the person You created me to be. Amen.
