God Will Shine Forth

Prayer:

My transgressions have not only hurt others, but they have dishonored Your name. Against You, I have sinned. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness. You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a contrite heart--these O God, You will not despise. O my Father, I pray that You will wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Please never cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
