Prayer based on Psalms 51:17. Themes: Repentance, Forgiveness, Humility.

Dear God, I come before you with a broken spirit and a contrite heart. I know that the sacrifices you desire from me are not material possessions or grand gestures, but a humble and repentant heart. I claim the promise that you will not despise my brokenness, but instead, you will embrace me with your love and mercy. Help me to continue to surrender my brokenness to you and trust in your healing power. Thank you for your faithfulness and grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
