Psalm 51 The sinner's prayer...
Call - upon the grace and lovingkindness of God. For, it is His great compassion that moves Him to blot out our transgressions, wash us from our iniquities, and cleanse us from our sin.
Confess- acknowledge sin, name it and take responsibility for it. Recognize that sin is against God, for it is His Law that has been transgressed. He has called sin evil. He has determined what is the just punishment. He is the Righteous Judge.
Come - to the One who sees our hearts, our innermost being, and allow Him to impart wisdom, purify us thoroughly , restore brokenness, bring joy, and create a new heart and a steadfast and willing spirit within us.
Change - As He works in us, we will be transformed and made His ambassadors, to teach others His ways, to bring songs of praise to His Name, and to delight Him with the sacrifices that please Him , sacrifices of broken spirits and contrite hearts.
Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. May every sinner call upon You. May the Gospel of Jesus Christ be preached with power that all men will call upon You, upon Your graciousness and your lovingkindness. O let Your kingdom come, Your rule over all of Your Creation be made know and accepted and received on earth. May Your will be done. That men and women and children will confess their sin and come to the One, the only One who can wash us and make us clean. Transform us Lord, fill us with Your Spirit and power, that we will boldly speak the Word, the only Word that can bring hope and salvation to those who have ears to hear. We ask this in the Name of Jesus, our Savior, amen.
