Lord,
We come to You humbly, acknowledging that there have been seasons of struggle, weariness, and drifting. There were times we chose our own way, moments we ignored Your voice, and choices made out of fear, pain, or exhaustion. We come not with excuses, but with honest hearts, asking for Your forgiveness.
Forgive us, Lord, for the ways we have wandered and for anything that has grieved Your heart. We lay it all at the foot of the cross. Thank You that Your mercy is greater than our mistakes and that Your grace is never exhausted by our weakness.
Today, we choose to rededicate our lives to You. We turn our hearts back toward You and invite You to take Your rightful place as Lord over every part of our lives. Cleanse us, renew us, and restore what feels broken or distant within us. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10
Thank You that we do not have to earn our way back to You. Thank You for welcoming us with open arms and for never leaving us, even when we wandered. Help us walk forward not in shame, but in freedom, humility, and gratitude for Your grace.
As we step into new beginnings, we place our past, present, and future into Your hands. Teach us to walk closely with You, to hear Your voice, and to trust You day by day. Help us choose obedience, even when it is difficult, and surrender, even when we do not understand.
We give You our hearts, our habits, our plans, our work, our relationships, and our dreams. Lead us into healing, growth, and renewal. Make this a season of restoration, deeper faith, and quiet faithfulness.
Thank You for loving us through every season. Thank You for never giving up on us. We come home to You.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
