Heavenly Father, thank You for the wake-up call that there are many ways that we can defraud one another, in thought, word, and deed. I pray that I would seek to live in purity of heart and walk in spirit and in truth for Your glory and the benefit of my neighbour. Forgive me for the times when I have not lived according to Your perfect will. Keep me from falling into sin and may I never forget that there are consequences to all wrongdoing, and that You are a God Who is the Avenger in all things. Thank You, Lord, that there is no sin that is so great that it cannot be forgiven. I confess before You my hidden sin and thank You for the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
