A Sinner's Prayer Poem by Aidel Padilla

By: Aidel N. Padilla

Oh God, let Your mercy be with me,
Piety, compassion and cleanse me.
I've sinned against You, un or intentionally,
Still, You show me Your love unconditionally.


Let Your holy spirit guide me and my thinking,
Lead me to correct my false understanding.
Change my bad perspectives and set my attention,
Emend my iniquities and intention.


Open my heart and mind to accept You wholly,
Help me repent my transgressions fully.
Direct me into the right path of righteousness,
Give me long patience and softheartedness.
