Prayer of Confession, P16C

Call to Confession

All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Let us confess our sin before God and seek God's mercy.

Prayer of Confession

O God, there is no question
that we deserve to be delivered
into the hands of our enemies,
because we have behaved in ways
that give them the upper hand.
Who among us is faithful?
Few us of would put our money
where our mouth is,
would dare to live out
the hope we proclaim.
Forgive us, we pray.
In your great mercy, O God,
forgive our impatience,
our egocentricity,
our faithlessness.
Teach us to be the people
you created us to be
and to live in the hope
of your covenant
with your people
every single day.

Assurance of God's Grace

God has promised that when we confess our sin, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sin, and will remove it as far as the east is from the west, remembering it no more. 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~
