Day 11 : Rejoice and Seek Forgiveness
Rejoice in times that we were brought closer to God, and ask forgiveness for those times when we resisted God's presence in our life. Praise God for the grace of awareness given to us during this time of prayer, even if we became aware of things we are not proud off.
Reading : Psalm 51
A psalm of contrition
1. Be merciful to me O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins !
2. Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin !
3. I recognize my faults ; I am always conscious my sins
4. I have sinned against you - only against you - and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me ; you are justified in condemning me.
5. I have been evil from the day I was born ; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
6. Sincerity and truth are what you require ; fill my mind with your wisdom
7. Remove my sin, and I will be clean ; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8. Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness ; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again.
9. Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.
10. Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
11. Do not banish me from your presence ; do not take your holy spirit away from me.
12. Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
13. Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you
14. Spare my life, O God and save me and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
15. Help me to speak Lord and I will praise You
16. You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them ; you are not pleased with burnt offerings,
17. My sacrifice is a humble spirit O God, you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.
18. O God, be kind to Zion and help her ; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem
19. Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings ; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar
Reflection :
Today I rejoice for His Grace upon me, the patience and humble heart before my children.
I was able to slow down my pace, having fun with them and I saw that they were responding in a good way. They were well behaved and looked out for each other
Today I also seek forgiveness for my weakness and sins that I did self - gratification. I missed my husband and our physical intimacy.
Lord, in my mind, I was aware that it's not pleasing You but I did it anyway. Lord please have mercy on me and forgive my action and sins.
