The Forgiveness Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, today I want to forgive myself for all my sins, faults,
and all that is bad in myself and all that I think is bad Lord, I forgive
myself for any delving into the occult, using ouija boards, horoscopes,
seances, fortune-telling, lucky charms, taking your name in vain, not
worshipping you, for hurting my parents, getting drunk, using dope, for
sins against purity, for adultery, abortion, stealing, lying.

heartaches, financial difficulties or what I thought were punishments.
