Prayer of Confession, OT33B

Call to Confession

Our Lord has promised that when we call upon God in the day of trouble; God will deliver us. Let us confess our sin before God, seek God's mercy, and glorify God.

Prayer of Confession, OT33B

Forgive us, God,
for we refuse to listen ...
refuse
to listen.
Our souls weep in secret for our pride;
Our eyes weep bitterly,
so bitterly,
and run down with tears.
Forgive us, God,
for we blame you ...
blame
you
for our pain.
We cannot see your all-encompassing love
in the face of our grief.
Forgive us, God,
for believing you would
punish us
when the price for our sin
has already been paid.
Consider our affliction, Lord,
and the hardships we have endured,
and forgive,
Oh Lord, forgive, we pray,
all ...
ALL ...
our sins.

Assurance of God's Grace

God said, "When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them. (Psalm 91:15) 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.
