Daily Experience

Almighty God, my Father....
Grant me the grace of daily confession,
daily forgiveness,
and daily cleansing.
Wash from my hands the dust of earthly striving.
Make me sensitive to sin’s approach.
Make me quick to confess my sins to You.
Let me daily experience Your forgiveness and cleansing,
and let me walk in newness of life to the glory of Your name, amen.

(prayer that closes chapter 10 in The Red Letter Prayer Life; line 5 is a quote from the Albert Orsborn hymn, "From a Hill I Know")
