Lead me toward absolute purity

Against you, God, I have sinned. Once again, I have treated your grace and mercy to me with contempt, and have willingly dove into the pools of sin. All this for some temporary gratification. Yet I feel empty and guilty.

My mind isn't clear. I don't have a pure heart and mind. I've been unfaithful to you and to my wife by my lust. I've gone after pornography to please myself. I've even tried to justify it and rationalize it.

My wife and I are lacking sexual intimacy, and I've sought to meet the need via other means. I've drug your Holy Spirit into something it abhors. Yet I have not had a spiritual attitude and mindset.

I am sorry. I want to be different, to be changed, to be made clean. I know that you can purify me. That your blood, Jesus, purifies me, and makes me clean.

Please remove the guilt from my heart and lead me toward absolute purity.

Thank you for your mercy and your grace. Please renew me, and I will be able to walk in confidence.

I ask for your blessing in my life, knowing full well that I've done nothing to merit it. But, for your name's sake, that you may continue to be glorified in me, please do bless our family and provide for our family's need.

Thank you so much.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen
