A PRAYER FOR REPENTANCE
A PRAIER FOR REPENTANCE
Most gracious god and merciful father of our saviour Jesus Christ, because I have sinned and done wickedly, and through thy goodness have received a desire of repentance, whereto this long suffering doth draw my hard heart: I beseech thee for thy great mercies sake in Christ, to work the same repentance in me, and by thy spirit, power, and grace, to humble, mortify and fear my conscience for my sins to salvation, that in thy good time thou mayest comfort and quicken me through Jesus Christ thy dearly beloved son, So be it.
