Heavenly Father, You are a good and loving Father, though You are Righteous, Father, You are near to those whose hearts are humble. You save those whose spirits are crushed. Lord, may I never consider my good works or righteous acts to be payment or a cover-up for the hidden sin I harbor in my heart. Instead I want my attitude to be that of the publican in Luke who humbly came before You and cried out, “God be merciful to me a sinner!” If I exalt myself it will lead to my downfall. But if I humble myself I will exalt You. Now that I have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit I reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. Praise Jesus! So I come to You with a contrite heart, confess my sins, and ask Your forgiveness through Christ Jesus my Lord and Saviour. Amen.
