Confessional Prayer

Heavenly Father Lord God most Divine,
I confess that my life has been gone malign;
I'm guilty of sin and can't free my soul,
In need of you more than ever to console;
My mind has become very feeble and weak,
For peer pressure made me want to seek;
For my thoughts have not been on you,
What your desire for me to say and do;
For lust has taken over my heart and mind,
Causing me to look away and be blind;
I have become selfish being full of greed,
The warnings that you sent I didn't heed;
My life has turned into an utter chaos,
Now my life feels like a total loss;
Forgive me Lord for what I have done,
And help me finish what I left undone;
Remove from me those sinful deeds,
Rid my body of the trash and the weeds;
You are the potter mold me as your clay,
In Jesus our savior's name I pray. Amen
