Prayer for Receiving God's Forgiveness

Receive God's forgiveness and release guilt with this powerful prayer. Let go of shame, accept cleansing from sin, and walk in the freedom Christ purchased for you.

Full Prayer Text

This prayer is just to encourage you that God forgives you. Father, your word declares that if I ask forgiveness, you'll forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to believe.

Help me to receive my forgiveness forpast and present sins. Help me to forgive myself. I confess Jesus my Lord and I believe in my heart that you raised him from the dead and I am saved. Father, your son Jesus said that whatever we ask in prayer, having faith and really believing, I'll receive. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief. Father, I count myself blessed. Happy am I. I get a fresh start. My slate is wiped clean. I count myself blessed. You, Father, are holding nothing against me. And you're not holding anything back for me.

When I keep it all inside, my bones turn to powder. My words become dayong groans. The pressure never lets up. All the juice of my life dries up. I'm letting it all out. I'm saying once and for all that I'm making a clean break from all my failures to you, Lord. In the face of this feeling of guilt and unworthiness, I receive forgiveness. The pressure is gone. The guilt dissolved. My sin disappeared. I am blessed that you've forgiven my transgressions. You've covered my sins. I'm blessed for you will never count my sins against me.

Father, you chose me. You actually picked me out for yourself as your very own in Christ before the world. The foundation was set that I shall be wholly consecrated and set apart for you. Blameless in your sight, even above reproach before you in love. In Jesus, I have redemption, deliverance, and salvation through your blood. Forgiveness of my offenses, my shortcomings, and trespasses in accordance with the riches and generosity of your favor. Lord, I receive your son Jesus.

I believe in his name and he has given me the right to become your child. I acknowledge you, Lord, as my father. Thank you for forgiving me and releasing me from all my guilt. I'm an overcomer by the blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
