Forgiveness Prayer

Father, You are faithful and just. That is why I can come to You with what I have done. Forgiveness is not You looking the other way. It is what Your Son's blood was sent to do. You are not bending the rules to keep me. You are keeping the rules and keeping me. I have lived too long thinking You only put up with me by not looking too close. But Your Word does not let me think that. The confession is real. The forgiveness is real. The cleansing is real. Wash what I bring You today, and let me walk out of this room lighter than I came in. Amen.
