Plead with God His Goodness and Readiness to Forgive Sin

Petition 3.2 | KJV

For the encouraging of my faith and the exciting of my fervency in this petition for the pardon of sin, I may plead with God,

The infinite goodness of his nature, his readiness to forgive sin, and his glorying in it.

Thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive and rich in mercy to all them that call upon thee. Psalm 86:5(KJV) Thou art a God full of compassion and gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. Psalm 86:15(KJV)

Thou art a God of pardon, merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, Nehemiah 9:17(KJV) that dost not always chide nor keep thine anger for ever. Psalm 103:9(KJV)

Thou, even thou, art he that blottest out my transgressions for thine own sake, and wilt not remember my sins, which I am here to put thee in remembrance of, to plead with thee, and to declare, that I may be justified. Isaiah 43:25-26(KJV)

And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, The Lord is long-suffering and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy people according unto the greatness of thy mercy: and as thou hast forgiven even until now. Numbers 14:17-19(KJV)

For who is a God like unto thee, that pardonest iniquity and passest by the transgression of the remnant of thine heritage? Who retainest not thine anger for ever, because thou delightest in mercy? O that thou wouldest have compassion upon me and subdue my iniquities and cast all my sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19(KJV)

Earnestly Pray for the Forgiveness of your Sins

Petition 3.1 | KJV

I must earnestly pray for the pardon and forgiveness of all my sins.

Lord, I come to thee, as the poor publican that stood afar off and would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast; and I pray his prayer, God be merciful to me, a sinner: Luke 18:13(KJV) the God of infinite mercy be merciful to me.

O wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Psalm 51:2-3(KJV) O purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow; Psalm 51:7(KJV) hide thy face from my sins, and blot out my iniquities. Psalm 51:9(KJV)

Be thou merciful to my unrighteousness, and my sins and my iniquities do thou remember no more. Hebrews 8:12(KJV) O forgive me that great debt. Matthew 18:32(KJV)

Let me be justified freely by thy grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus, Romans 3:24(KJV) from all those things from which I could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:39(KJV)

O let not my iniquity be my ruin; Ezekiel 18:30(KJV) but let the Lord take away my sin, that I may not die, 2 Samuel 12:13(KJV) not die eternally; that I may not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 2:11(KJV)

Blot out as a cloud my transgressions, and as a thick cloud my sins; for I return unto thee, because thou hast redeemed me. Isaiah 44:22(KJV)

Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord, for in thy sight shall no flesh living be justified. Psalm 143:2(KJV)

Take away all iniquity, and receive me graciously; heal my backslidings, and love me freely; and let thine anger be turned away from me, for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. Hosea 14:2-4(KJV)

Though my sins have been as scarlet, let them be as white as snow; and though they have been red like crimson, let them be as wool; that being willing and obedient, I may eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:18-19(KJV)

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me, Job 10:2(KJV) but deliver me from going down to the pit, for thou hast found the ransom. Job 33:24(KJV)

Introduction to Petition

Petition 3.0 | KJV

Of the Third Part of Prayer, which is Petition and Supplication for the Good Things which I Stand in Need of.

Having opened the wounds of sin, both the guilt of it and the power of it, and its remainders in us, we must next seek unto God for the remedy, for healing and help, for from him alone it is to be expected, and this also he will let us ask him to do for us. Ezekiel 36:37(KJV) And now we must affect our hearts with a deep sense of the need we have of those mercies which we pray for, that we are undone, forever undone, without them; and, with a high esteem and value for them, that we are happy, we are made forever, if we obtain them; that we may like Jacob wrestle with him in prayer, as for our lives and the lives of our souls. But we must not think in our prayers to prescribe to him or by our importunity to move him. He knows us better than we know ourselves and knows what he will do. John 6:6(KJV) But thus, we open our wants and desires, and then refer ourselves to his wisdom and goodness; and hereby we give honor to him as our Protector and Benefactor, and take the way which he himself has appointed, of fetching in mercy from him, and by faith plead his promise with him: And if we are sincere in this, we are, through his grace, qualified according to the tenor of the new covenant to receive his favors, and are to be assured that we do and shall receive them. Mark 11:24(KJV)

And now, Lord, what wait I for? truly my hope is even in thee. Deliver me from all my transgressions, that I may no more be the reproach of the foolish. Psalm 39:7-8(KJV)

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee, Psalm 38:9(KJV) even the groanings which cannot be uttered, for, he that searcheth the heart knows what is the mind of the Spirit. Romans 8:26-27(KJV)

I do not think that I shall be heard for my much speaking, for my Father knows what things I have need of before I ask him; Matthew 6:7-8(KJV) but my Master hath told me that whatsoever I ask the Father in his name, he will give it me. And he hath said, Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:23-24(KJV)

And this is the confidence that I have in him, that if I ask any thing according to his will, he heareth me; and if I know that he hears me, whatsoever I ask, I know that I have the petitions I desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15(KJV)
