I repent—not from fear, but from love. From the deep understanding that apart from You, I am nothing. But with You, in You, through You—I become Light. I become motion, word, action.
Before every beginning, before every work,
I call upon You, my God and Father, to help me—
Because before and above every beginning, You are.
You are the Beginning of all things.
All things came into being through You—
By Your Power, Your Aid,
And through Your infinite Love, Wisdom, and Omnipotence,
And by Your Word, who is One with You.
For without You, nothing can come into being.
Without You, all is dead, nonexistent.
No thought exists, no reasoning, no word, no movement,
No energy, no creation—nothing, nothing, nothing…
Therefore, I come before You.
I kneel with humility and call upon Your Mercy.
Cleanse me from pride, from the illusion that I can act alone.
Forgive me for forgetting that You are the Source and the Goal of all.
Let every beginning be through You.
Let every purpose be grounded in You.
Let me not be deluded by appearances or temporal powers.
Let me see clearly that all truth, all motion, all Light,
Comes from You—only You.
And in this awareness, I return to You.
I repent—not from fear, but from love.
From the deep understanding that apart from You, I am nothing.
But with You, in You, through You—I become Light.
I become motion, word, action.
So I ask not only for help in this hour,
But for the grace to be ever united with Your Will.
To no longer be a seeker of selfish ends,
But a bearer of Your Purpose in all things.
Father,
Take my weakness and transform it into strength.
Take my confusion and restore clarity.
Take my fear and replace it with love.
Let me live as one who knows You,
And whose every breath begins in You.
Amen.
