THE PRAYER OF MANASSEH !!!!!
LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB,GOD OF THEIR RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS, YOU CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THE SPLENDOR THAT FILLS IT. THE SEA OBEYS YOUR COMMAND AND NEVER OVER FLOWS ITS BOUNDS THE POWER OF YOUR WONDERFUL, GLORIOUS NAME, WHEN YOU SHOW YOUR POWER ALL CREATION TREMBLES, YOUR GLORIOUS SPLENDOR IS OVERWHELMING, AND YOUR ANGER IS MORE THAN SINNERS CAN ENDURE. BUT THE MERCY YOU PROMISE IS ALSO GREATER THAN WE UNDERSTAND OR MEASURE, FOR YOU ARE THE LORD MOST HIGH; YOU ARE PATIENT AND SHOW MERCY AND COMPASSION. YOU MAKE PUNISHMENT EASIER TO BEAR. WHEN WE SUFFER OUR SINS. O LORD, IN YOUR GREAT GOODNESS AND MERCY YOU PROMISE FORGIVENESS AND SALVATION TO THOSE WHO REPENT OF THEIR SIN AGAINST YOU. YOU , LORD , ARE THE GOD OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE. REPENTANCE WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, FOR THEY DID NOT SIN AGAINST YOU. BUT FOR SINNERS LIKE ME YOU HAVE MADE REPENTANCE POSSIBLE... I HAVE COMMITTED MORE SINS THAN THERE ARE GRAIN OF SAND ALONG THE SEASHORE.. THEY ARE SO MANY LORD, THERE ARE SO MANY. I HAVE DONE SO MUCH THAT IS WRONG THAT I AM NOT WORTHY TO TURN MY FACE TOWARDS HEAVEN... I AM CRUSHED BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF MY SIN; I AM BOWED DOWN BY ITS HEAVY IRON CHAIN. I CAN FIND NO RELIEF. FOR I HAVE MADE YOU ANGRY, I HAVE SET UP IDOLS EVERYWHERE; I HAVE DONE WHAT YOU HATE. BUT NOW I BOW IN DEEP HUMILITY, PRAYING FOR YOUR MERCY. I HAVE SINNED , LORD, I HAVE SINNED; I CONFESS THE WICKED THINGS I HAVE DONE. I BEG YOU LORD, I EARNESTLY PRAY FORGIVE ME, DO NOT DESTROY ME BECAUSE OF MY SINS; DO NOT STAY ANGRY WITH ME FOREVER OR STORE UP PUNISHMENT FOR ME . DO NOT CONDEMN ME TO THE WORLD OF THE DEAD. FOR YOU , O LORD, FORGIVE THOSE WHO REPENT. SHOW ME ALL YOUR MERCY AND KINDNESS AND SAVE ME, EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT DESERVE IT. THEN I WILL GO ON PRAISING YOU AS LONG AS I LIVE. ALL THE HEAVENLY POWERS SING YOUR PRAISES, AND YOUR GLORY ENDURE FOREVER, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN......
