Receiving Forgiveness

Father, Your Word declares that if I ask for forgiveness, You will forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to believe; help me to receive my forgiveness for past and present sins. Help me to forgive myself. I confess Jesus as my Lord and believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead, and I am saved.
    Father, Your Son, Jesus, said that whatever I ask for in prayer, having faith and really believing, I will receive. Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.
    Father, I count myself blessed, how happy I am — I get a fresh start, my slate’s wiped clean. I count myself blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied). You, Father, are holding nothing against me, and You’re not holding anything back from me.
    When I keep it all inside, my bones turn to powder, and my words become daylong groans. The pressure never lets up; all the juices of my life dry up. I am letting it all out; I am saying once and for all that I am making a clean breast of my failures to You, Lord.
    In the face of this feeling of guilt and unworthiness, I receive my forgiveness, and the pressure is gone — my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. I am blessed, for You have forgiven my transgressions — You have covered my sins. I am blessed, for You will never count my sins against me.
    Father, You chose me [actually picked me out for Yourself as Your very own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy (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 His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of my offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of Your gracious favor.
    Lord, I have received 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 absolving me of all guilt. I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony.
    In the name of Jesus, amen.
