Heartfelt Prayer Inspired by Psalm 38:

Heavenly Father,

I come before You, aware of my sin and the brokenness it has caused in my life. I feel the weight of my failures and the sorrow of my disobedience. Yet, I know You are a merciful God, full of steadfast love and compassion.

Forgive me, Lord, and heal my wounded heart. I confess my sins and trust in Your grace to restore me. Do not forsake me in my weakness, but draw near to me and remind me of Your faithful love. Thank You for sending Jesus to bear my sin and give me the hope of restoration and eternal life. In His name, Amen.

Key Scripture:
