God of mercy, the weight of shame is too heavy for me to bear. Unconfessed sin robs me of rest and rids me of peace. I confess my sin to You. Please take the burden of sin away from me. Restore my soul and remind me of Your mercy. There is no sacrifice You require from me or self-punishment worth pursuing. You desire a pure and contrite heart. You desire repentance. So here I am tonight, bowing my heart before You in reverence and repentance. Forgive me, God. I want to fall into a deep sleep with the safety of a bird under its mother’s wings. So cover me in Your grace and tuck me into bed with Your mercy. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
