Sins
Dear Lord, how can I know all the sins lurking in my heart and mind?
I cannot control everything that I think about - cleanse me from that fault, if You will be so kind.


Lord, keep me from deliberate sin, don't let them control me - then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.
Please dear Lord, keep me away from those trangressions so they will never have a chance to begin.

May the words of my mouth and thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You.
Oh Lord, my rock and Redeemer, keep me clean in all the things You let me do.

Great Creator, I humbly ask You for my daily bread - never let me feel "holier than thou".
Dear Lord, deliver me from all of my sins!  Wash them away from my brow.
