Clearing Up the Past

Dear God,
The burden that I carry feels too big for me.
I’m so scared that this situation is going to fall apart and blow up in my face.
I have done the following things that I regret: (say your own).
I failed to do the following things that I feel I should have done: (say your own).
And now, dear Lord, I feel so guilty.
The situation is out of control, and I am so scared.
Please God, I need a miracle.
Please give me the chance to begin again.
I give to You what I tried to keep under my own control before, and now everything has gone wrong, of course.
Dear Lord, I am so sorry.
Please help me now,
May I begin again.
I place this entire situation in Your hands.
May it be reborn.
Please forgive me my errors and help me to forgive others for theirs.
Do for me what I cannot do for myself.
I go back in my mind to the moment at which I went astray in my thinking.
I surrender all aspects of this event to You.
From this point forward, I will not feel guilty, for I know You will make right what I have made wrong.
Thank You, Lord, for Your power and Your willingness to use it on my behalf.
I pray that I might learn to do wrong no longer, that I might be a better person in the future.
Thank You for the chance to begin again.
Amen.
