Jesus, I believe you love me. Please forgive me for my sins. Help me to be a better person. Amen.
Express Your Regret: Clearly articulate what you are asking forgiveness for. You might say something like, ``I regret my actions and the hurt they caused, and I seek your forgiveness.''

To seek God's favor, we need to humble our hearts before Him, seek Him for Himself rather than just His blessings, and arrange our lives around loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Seeking wisdom is also important in obtaining favor from the Lord.
Pleading is biblical Jeremiah cries out to the Lord, “Righteous are you, O Lord, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you” (Jeremiah ). Joshua pleads the case of the Israelites and the disgrace their annihilation would bring upon the name of God (Joshua -9); and God responds with His grace.
