Father, we acknowledge and confess to You, that we are poor sinners; conceived and born in guilt and in corruption, prone to evil, unable of ourselves to do any good. We admit that when we have done all that You have commanded, we are still unprofitable servants. We admit that all our righteous acts are filthy rags. All of our prayers, all of our worship, all of our acts of obedience are weak and imperfect and will never make us acceptable to You. Therefore we have brought upon ourselves, according to your Holy justice, condemnation and death. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and deplore our offences! We condemn ourselves and our evil ways, with true penitence asking that your grace may relieve our distress. Father please have compassion and love for us, O most gracious God for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. And, in removing our guilt and our pollution, grant us the daily increase of the grace of your Holy Spirit; that, acknowledging from our inmost hearts our own unrighteousness, we may be touched with sorrow that shall work true repentance; and that your Spirit, mortifying all sin within us, may produce the fruits of holiness and righteousness well-pleasing in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
