The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says that when I confess, You are faithful and just to forgive me and to clean me up inside. So tonight I am bringing You the small stuff. The way I talked about someone. The show I watched, even though I knew it was not good for me. The hour I wasted after I said I would use it better. I am telling You all of it now, even if it is quiet. I am not asking You to make me feel fine about what I did. I am asking You to forgive me. Then help me actually sleep, not because the day was perfect, but because this is settled. You promised to forgive and to clean, so I am not staying stuck in guilt. I am letting You close this day for me. Amen.
