52 Prayers from the Bible

Confession and Pleading for God’s Favor

Read the context passage: Daniel 9:4-19

4 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: Ah, Lord--the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps His gracious covenant with those who love Him and keep His commandments -- 5 we have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled, and turned away from Your commandments and ordinances. 17 Therefore, our God, hear the prayer and the petitions of Your servant. Show Your favor to Your desolate sanctuary for the Lord's sake. (Daniel 9:4,5,17)
