Father, please forgive me for not being a good steward over everything you have blessed and entrusted me with. I have been irresponsible and tried to justify my actions by playing the victim but yet I have been irresponsible with what belongs to you. You have allowed me to enjoy all things richly but nothing is ours. You own everything; we're responsible for how we treat it and what we do with it. I don't own any of this, I am a steward, which means I have a responsibility to care for it with the utmost care. Please forgive me for not being a good steward over your riches. I ask that you allow me a second chance. Allow me the opportunity to be a good steward over all you give me charge of. Allow me to show you the respect you deserve as you bless me with another opportunity. Thank you for your forgiveness and the second chance. I will honor you by being a good steward over everything in my care. I will honor you by being a good steward over all resources, abilities and opportunities that you entrust me with. I know that I will be called to give an account of how I have administered everything I have been given, including my time, money, abilities, information, wisdom, relationships, and authority. You asked me to work at everything I do with all my heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, and I failed you. I ask for your forgiveness and from this moment forward, I will be more diligent in my efforts to be a good steward over all you entrust me with. Thank you for restoring me and giving me a second chance. Thank you for your forgiveness, grace and mercy. I will work with the Holy Spirit to make better decisions and use wisdom and discernment. It will be done!
1 John 1:9 says that if we repent and confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Romans 8:1 NIV
I thank you and praise you for restoration, forgiveness, grace and mercy. In the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN!
