Prayers of Repentance During Captivity

Acknowledging God

Follow in My Ways

There Is No God Like You

2 Chronicles 6:36-40 The Message

36-39 When they sin against you—and they certainly will; there’s no one without sin!—and in anger you turn them over to the enemy and they are taken captive to the enemy’s land, whether far or near, but repent in the country of their captivity and pray with changed hearts in their exile, “We’ve sinned; we’ve done wrong; we’ve been most wicked,” and turn back to you heart and soul in the land of the enemy who conquered them, and pray to you toward their homeland, the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you chose, and this Temple I have built to the honor of your Name,
Listen from your home in heaven
to their prayers desperate and devout;
Do what is best for them.
Forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 And now, dear God, be alert and attentive to prayer, all prayer, offered in this place.

For Reflection

Our temple resides in our Souls. There, we can retreat and explore the nature of our sin. There we can confess to God and to ourselves our shortcomings.  There we can find repentance and how to act on it.  God will answer your prayers offered in your Soul.

Pray

Pray deep into the center of your soul. Listen to the prayers of others as they cry out in despair. Pray and forgive those whose actions have offended you. Listen to God's response, your call to witness to the love that is God.
