1 John 1:9

Dear God, Creator of all things, we turn to You in this new day with humility and gratitude. We recognize that we are imperfect and that sometimes we stray from Your path. We ask, as 1 John 1:9 teaches us, that You will forgive us and cleanse us of all our transgressions.

May we approach You with sincere hearts, ready to recognize our faults and repent before You. Enable us, Lord, to live in truth and integrity, always seeking Your will in all areas of our lives.

Grant us, loving Father, the grace to free ourselves from the weight of sin and guilt, knowing that You are merciful and compassionate. Enable us to forgive others as You have forgiven us.

May on this day, we can live in communion with You and our fellow humans, radiating Your love and kindness to everyone we meet. Guide us with Your light and strengthen us with Your peace, so that we can face the challenges of the day with faith and trust in You.

In the name of all religious traditions, we unite our hearts in this prayer, recognizing Your sovereignty over all things.

Amen.
