Prayer of Confession, P+6B

Call to Confession

Bless the Lord, ...
    and do not forget all (God's) benefits--
3 who forgives all (our) iniquity,
    who heals all (our) diseases ...  (Psalm 103:2-3)

Let us confess our sin before God, and seek God's mercy:

Prayer of Confession

We come before you with gratitude, O God,
that your grace is beyond measure,
your steadfast love unending.
We do not deserve your mercy, Lord,
but we bow before you
in fervent hope,
for we know the ways in which we have failed you
by the things we have done
and the things we have left undone.
Redeem us, we pray,
and restore us to right relationship
with you and with your people
everywhere.

Assurance of God's Grace

in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. (2 Corinthians 5:19) Hear the Good News: 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 week.
