Prayers for Forgiveness

[Mr_Jailer]

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin with which my enemies intended to disgrace, but You turned their plotting away from me and did not assist them, as though I were your obedient servant; and You sustained me until it seemed as though I were Your friend.



Until when, O my Lord, will I disobey You and You continue giving me respite?



Long indeed have I disobeyed You and You have not punished me; and long indeed have I, with all my evil deeds, beseeched You and You have granted me my requests.



What meagre thanks of mine can measure up, in Your sight, to even one of Your many blessings upon me?

[Mr_Jailer]

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin for which I presented my repentance before You; and regarding which I stood before You swearing on oath in Your name and called Your friends from among Your servants to be my witnesses—that I would never return to disobeying You.

But when Satan with his cunning tempted me to return to it; and Your forsaking me [due to Your anger over my impiety] causing me to [despairingly] waver toward it; and my lower self invited me to disobey you once more; I hid myself in shame form Your servants, but openly and daringly committed sins before You, though I knew full well that no covering nor any closed door could conceal me from You and no veil could hid me from Your sight.

I still defied You by disobediently doing what You had prohibited to me; but [despite my iniquity], You did not remove Your covering from me, but rather treated me equal to Your pious servants, as though I had always been an obedient servant and swift to fulfill Your every command and fearful of Your warnings.

I remained obscure in front of Your servants, and none besides You knew my secret. You did not single me out from Your servants with a mark of disgrace, but instead showered upon me blessings like theirs; and with this You distinguished me over them as though I were, in Your sight, of a status like theirs.

All this was owing only of Your forbearance and abundant blessings—generous grace from You to me. For You then, O my Lord, belongs all praise. I ask from You, O Allah, just as You have covered my evil deeds in this world, that You do not humiliate me with them on the Day of Judgment. [Forgive my sins,] O Most Merciful of the merciful!

Do you always pray a traditional or predetermined/ worded prayer or do you speak your own?

[Arsalan]

You can speak your own in any language of course. But their are certain prayers with spiritual benefits attatched, it also helps memorization and propogation of the prayer whilst developing sincere intention for the supplicator.
