But You, O Most Merciful God, invincible to the sins of the whole world, Goodness, Gentle Lord, accept me, more than all sinners, in the hand of Your protection and deliver me from all evil, cleanse my many iniquities, grant correction to my evil and cursed life and from those to come. Always admire me for my cruel falls, and never when I anger Your love for mankind, with which you cover my weakness from demons, passions and evil people. Forbid the enemy, visible and invisible, guiding me along the saved path, bring me to You, my refuge and my desire. Grant me a Christian death, unashamed, peaceful, keep me from the airy spirits of malice, at Your Last Judgment be merciful to Your servant and number me at the right hand of Your blessed sheep, and with them I will glorify You, my Creator forever. Amen".

Prayer for forgiveness of grievances

“Lord, You see my weakness, grant me correction and make me worthy to love you with all my soul and thoughts, and grant me Your grace, grant me the zeal to perform services, offer my unworthy prayer and thank You for everything.”

Forgiveness from God

“Lord my God, You know what is saving for me, help me; and do not allow me to sin before You and perish in my sins, for I am sinful and weak; do not betray me to my enemies, for I have come running to You, deliver me, O Lord, for You are my strength and my hope, and to You be glory and thanksgiving forever. Amen".

The power of turning to the Almighty

A person’s ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness is the ability of a strong and merciful person, because the Lord God performed a majestic act of forgiveness, He not only forgave all people who sinned, but was also crucified for human sins on the cross.

Prayer for the forgiveness of sins to the Lord can help a person achieve the long-awaited liberation from sin. Its strength lies in the fact that the person asking the Almighty already sincerely repents and wants to atone for his guilt. While praying for the forgiveness of his sins, he realized:

• that he committed a sin
• was able to admit his guilt,
• I realized that I did wrong
• and decided not to repeat it again.

The asking person's faith in His mercy can lead to forgiveness.

Based on this, a spiritual prayer for sinful forgiveness is the sinner’s repentance for his deed, since one who cannot understand the gravity of what he has done will not turn to the Almighty with prayer.

By paying attention to his mistakes and then turning to the Son of God, the sinner is obliged to show his sincere repentance through good deeds. In this case, “he who serves God will certainly be accepted, and his prayer will reach the very clouds” (Sir.35:16).

God's forgiveness for sins

Over the course of human existence, prayer has become necessary to receive divine grace, after which a person’s character completely changes: he becomes rich in soul, mentally strong, persistent, courageous, and sinful thoughts leave his head forever.

• can make the people around him kinder,
• show what it means to do reasonable things,
• tell about the hidden nature of the origin of evil and good,
• prevent another from committing a sinful act.

The Mother of God, Theotokos, also helps in the atonement of sins - he hears all the prayers addressed to her and conveys them to the Lord, thereby begging forgiveness together with the one asking.

You can turn to the saints of God and the great martyrs with a prayer for forgiveness. You don’t just need to ask for forgiveness of sins, you need to beg for it long time: the more serious the sin, the longer it will take. But rest assured, your time will not be wasted.
