As I fall into the temptation of sin, just like a disease it attacks my moral core. And soon I start to whither dying slowly but surely. Guilt tries to prevent me from seeking help as I am blinded by grief and depression.
But I cry out to You O Lord my Christ, my Saviour and You come swiftly to heal me. By Your precious blood I am set free. My peers find no fault in me and I walk blameless.
Let me now honour, love and serve You by my new life in You. In Your most precious name Jesus I pray. Amen

Luke 5:12–16
It happened that there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. Then he ordered him not to tell anyone, but “Go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The report about him spread all the more, and great crowds assembled to listen to him and to be cured of their ailments, but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray.
