Prayer Of Repentance For Forgetting To Give God My Rosh Chodesh Offerings And Gifts
Eternal Father,
I come before You with a humble and contrite heart, acknowledging that You are the Creator of all things and the One who has shown me mercy far beyond what I deserve. You, who established the heavens and the earth, have given me life, and for this, I am eternally grateful. Yet, I must confess my failure, for I have neglected an important part of my worship and devotion to You. I have forgotten to offer the gifts and offerings for Rosh Chodesh as You have commanded in Your Word.
Lord, I recognize that Rosh Chodesh, the new moon, is a sacred time—set apart for You as a moment of joy, renewal, and remembrance of Your faithfulness. Your Word tells us in Numbers 28:11-15 that on the new moon, we are to bring offerings to You, sacrifices that are pleasing in Your sight. I confess that I have failed to bring these offerings, and I repent for not honoring You in this way. I have allowed distractions and cares of this world to pull my focus away from the sacred observance of Rosh Chodesh, and for that, I ask for Your forgiveness.
Father, I know that You command these offerings not out of need, for You lack nothing, but to draw me nearer to You, to express my trust in Your provision, and to demonstrate my love and gratitude. I have not been faithful in giving as You have instructed, and I humbly repent for this neglect. I realize that by not offering these gifts, I have missed an opportunity to align my heart with Yours, to show that I trust You for all that I have, and to celebrate the cycles of time that You have created.
Yeshua, my Savior, You are the fulfillment of all that the Torah and the Prophets speak of. Your precious blood has covered every sin, every transgression, and every failure. I know that through You, I can be forgiven for the times when I have fallen short. I bring my sin before You, pleading the blood that You shed on the cross, knowing that it is by Your sacrifice that I can stand before the Father. In Your Name, I ask for forgiveness for forgetting my Rosh Chodesh offerings. Wash me clean and restore the joy of giving to You.
In the book of Ezekiel, You reveal that even in the Messianic Kingdom, Rosh Chodesh will be a time of offerings and worship: “The people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths and the New Moons” (Ezekiel 46:3). I long for the day when the New Moon will once again be celebrated in its fullness, and I repent for not doing so with the fullness of my heart today. Father, may I never again take lightly the sacred observances You have established, but may I honor them with the reverence and joy they deserve.
Lord, I ask that You would rekindle in me a heart that delights in offering. Help me to remember that every gift I bring before You is a reflection of Your provision and Your goodness in my life. I desire to be faithful, not only in the great things but also in the small, like my offerings for Rosh Chodesh, which remind me of Your sovereignty over time and seasons. I want to honor You with every part of my life, and I ask that You would guide me to always bring my gifts and offerings with a heart of gratitude.
I also ask that You would bless the works of my hands, Lord, that I may have what I need to give to You freely, generously, and cheerfully. Let not my heart be hardened, but soften it to see that everything I have is a gift from You, and that my offerings are an act of worship and trust. May I never forget the privilege it is to come before You and offer the first fruits of my labor, knowing that You have already provided all that I need.
Father, I repent for the times when I have allowed the busyness of life to drown out the significance of Your appointed times, and I ask for Your forgiveness for neglecting to offer for Rosh Chodesh. I thank You for Your great mercy, and I ask that You would restore in me a heart that delights in honoring Your commandments, one that is filled with joy and reverence at the opportunity to bring my gifts before You.
In Yeshua’s name,
Amen.
