Dear Lord,
Though my spirit belongs to You, I still make mistakes. When I fail, I know that I can come to You and confess my sins. I battle my selfish desires as I continue to realize that all of me belongs to You. You have called me to be a temple where Your Holy Spirit rests. This means I no longer belong to myself.
I was bought with a price, so help me to glorify You in the way I use my body and care for it. It’s not a sin to be out of shape, but I realize that being out of shape does not honor You.
I repent from the mistakes I’ve willfully and carelessly made and turn back to You so that my sins may be wiped out and so that I can be refreshed. Fill me with the gift of Your Holy Spirit.
Jesus, thank You for the gift of remorse. Thank You that now that I have repented and turned back to You, You have refreshed my spirit and restored our relationship.
My repentance and baptism with water represents that you have forgiven my sin and have filled me with Your Holy Spirit.
I embrace Your message of forgiveness. I know that I will never face Your condemnation because I am in You. You have raised me from death to eternal life.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
Don’t you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don’t belong to yourselves. You were bought for a price. So bring glory to God in the way you use your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 GW
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
Acts 3:19 NIV
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:38 NIV
I speak to you an eternal truth: if you embrace my message and believe in the One who sent me, you will never face condemnation, for in me, you have already passed from the realm of death into the realm of eternal life!
John 5:24 TPT
