“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9

(Deuteronomy 6:5; Mark 12:30; Philippians 1:6; Colossians 1:22; Ephesians 1:4)

 

I repent of everything that I’ve made an idol. Relationships, pleasing people, money, status, power, control, all of those things, Lord. I ask that You will forgive me because I’ve placed those things above You, and that’s not the desire of my heart.

(Exodus 20:3–5; Deuteronomy 5:7–9; Ezekiel 14:3–6; Matthew 6:24; 1 John 5:21)

 

I also repent from any unbelief that was in me, where I doubted Your Word, where I just doubted, Lord. I ask that You will forgive me.

(Mark 9:24; Hebrews 3:12; James 1:6–8; Romans 14:23)

 

Lord, I pray that You forgive me for having pride, where I chose to place myself above just being at Your feet, Lord.

(Proverbs 16:18; James 4:6–10; 1 Peter 5:5–6)

 

And I ask that You forgive me for self-righteousness, Lord, where I took the Word of God and placed myself in a position where I didn’t move in righteousness, but I moved in my own understanding.

(Isaiah 64:6; Proverbs 3:5–6; Romans 10:3; Philippians 3:9)

Unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, hatred, anger, rage, Lord.

I repent of all of those things, Lord.

(Matthew 5:21–24; 1 John 3:15; Ephesians 4:26–32; Colossians 3:8–14)

 

I ask that, Lord, You can also forgive me.

 

I repent from envy and jealousy of others that have more than me, that’s in a better situation, Lord, that maybe has a better body than me, more money than me, more friends than me, more followers than me, more influence than me, anything that made me feel less.

 

Forgive me, Lord.

(Exodus 20:17; Proverbs 14:30; James 3:14–16; Galatians 5:26)

 

Lord, greed, the love of money, the fact that I took money, the fact that I spent money with no care, the fact that I wasted money, materialism, the fact that I wanted things for the sake of wanting them, but I didn’t even need them because a lot of those things I don’t even own anymore.

 

Just selfish ambition, trying to do things my way and not really sitting at Your feet.

(1 Timothy 6:6–10; Matthew 6:19–21; Philippians 2:3–5; James 3:16)

 

Lord, and vanity, trying to be a lover of self on social media, for people to see, “Look at me, I’m beautiful.”
