Lesson 8: Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of Your goodness, O Lord!

O Lord, You who rule, "I was shaped in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me," I am of sinful flesh. Adam's corrupt seed has been sown in my heart, from where so much misery has grown up. I, a miserable sinner, did not know my infirmities so long as they were not shown to me by the Spirit. I thought I was a Christian. But when I saw rightly, I found myself, without Your word, altogether earthly, and carnal. My light was darkness, my truth was lies, my righteousness sin, my worship open idolatry, and my life, certain death.

O dear Lord, I did not know myself until I viewed myself with Your eyes through Your word; then I learned to know, with Paul, my blindness, nakedness, uncleanness, depraved nature, and that nothing good dwelt in my flesh. I was full of wounds and bruises and putrefying sores from the sole of the foot even to the head. Ah, alas! my gold was dross; my wheat, chaff; all my services were deceit and lies. I walked before You in the flesh. My thoughts were carnal, my words and works without the fear of God. My watching and sleeping were unclean, my prayer hypocrisy. In short, I did nothing without sin.

O Lord, remember not the sins of my youth, so often committed knowingly and unknowingly, nor my daily transgressions of which I am guilty in my great weakness. But remember me according to Your great goodness. I am blind; enlighten me. I am naked; clothe me. I am wounded; heal me. I am dead; raise me up. I know of no light, medicine, or life except You. Accept me graciously, grant me Your mercy, favor and faith, fullness, and Your good will, O Lord.
