Father

Father,

I come to you, a sinner, and beg of your forgiveness.

Forgive all my sins and do not hold them against me.

I am weak without You, o Lord.

I need You, my Lord.

You are my everything; let me cleanse my heart for you.

Please Lord be my strength and my rock.

Stand between me and Satan.

Our Savior, Jesus Christ, please send your mother, Mary, to my side, as the devil fears her and her love for You.

I am weak, Lord. I am unworthy. Please forgive all my sins that I have presented to you, especially those of which I'm most contrite, for they are the most evil.

With you, my Lord, I will find peace in my heart.

Psalm 6

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, [a]upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.

6 O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,

Nor chasten me in Your wrath.

2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away;

Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.

3 And my soul is greatly dismayed;

But You, O Lord—how long?

4 Return, O Lord, rescue my [b]soul;

Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

5 For there is no [c]mention of You in death;

In [d]Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my sighing;

Every night I make my bed swim,

I dissolve my couch with my tears.

7 My eye has wasted away with grief;

It has become old because of all my adversaries.

8 Depart from me, all you who do iniquity,

For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The Lord has heard my supplication,

The Lord receives my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;

They shall [e]turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.

During Confession, my penance was to make a special prayer to our Father, to ask for His assistance and strength against my sins, especially those sins that separate me the most from Him.

I ask Sts. Augustine, Dymphna, Mary Magdalene, Maria Goretti, Anne, Theresa of Liseaux, Teresa of Avila to pray with me to our Savior.
