Seeking forgiveness and understanding grace.
Gracious God, I seek Your forgiveness for the times I have stumbled. Help me to understand the depth of Your mercy and the grace that is always available to me. Remind me that I am not defined by my past, but by Your love and forgiveness. As I strive for a heart and mind aligned with You, give me patience with myself in the process. Thank You for breaking the chains of shame. In Your name, I find hope, Amen. (1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1)
