A Simple Prayer Of A Contrite Heart

Purify me, my God. My life is an open book before you. Wash me more and more every night and day. I cannot hide my sins from you. Touch and purify my heart. My offering today shall be my contrite heart. You will not cast away a contrite heart. Do not turn away your face from me. Wash me in your mercy and take me to you. I want to be in your presence at dawn and dusk. I like to sit before you and muse about your wonders. I delight in your plans for me. Unawares you come to me to plan for me. When I know of it my heart is full of joy. Who am I God, that you think of me? I know when I cannot pray in words, God hears my heart.
