Lately, I have done some terrible things.
Lately, I’ve made some serious mistakes.
I’ve stolen, sought revenge against someone who caused me great financial and emotional harm, and I’ve allowed myself to fall into dishonesty. Today, I crossed another line my thoughts and actions were sexually impure.
I recognize now that all of these choices were wrong. I’ve been acting out of anger, frustration, and pain. I’ve felt out of control, and I know I’ve hurt others and myself along the way.
So today, I want to apologize.
To the people I’ve wronged.
To myself, for losing sight of who I truly am.
And especially to God, for turning away from the values I believe in.
I am deeply sorry for my behavior, and I know I need a forgiving and understanding God more than ever.
This morning, I ask for renewal.
For grace.
For a second chance to be better.
