Prayer of Confession, OT17B

Picture
Call to Confession

"But one is tempted by one’s own desire, being lured and enticed by it; 15 then, when that desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and that sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death." (James 1:14-15) Let us confess our sin before God, and seek God's mercy.

Prayer of Confession 

Covetousnessness,
Lust,
Pride,
Fear,
Deceit, and
Manipulation.
We are all guilty,
every last one,
of placing our own desires
over our commitments to others,
over our covenant with God.
We do not deserve forgiveness,
but we beg for it.
Hear our prayers for mercy, Lord.
Transform our hearts
and renew a right spirit within us
that we may live abundantly
in your holy name.

Assurance of God's Grace


"The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you.
Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this day~

Confessing your sins is better than just keeping them inside you. A lot of people are afraid because of what they did, and that is understandable, however, it is also not healthy. If you just keep everything to yourself, then you will end up depressed and unable to move forward. Confessing your sins will allow you to feel better about yourself. Acceptance is key, and letting go is part of the process of accepting what you did and what you need to do.

    Julie served as a Commissioned Ruling Elder in a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation for thirteen years. She now absolutely delights in filling the pulpit for colleagues upon request, and looks forward to opportunities to do so. Her reformed perspective is sprinkled with humor and presented with authenticity, and she is open to creatively deconstructing worship as a means to helping congregants explore worship in transformational ways.

    Julie and her husband, Ray, are parents of three adult children, and grandparents of four energetic and imaginative little people. She is an introverted-with-enough-extrovert-balance-to-keep-her-social, perfectionistic-with-hopper-tendencies, time and goal-oriented, kaleidoscopic, and insatiably curious child of God.
