All 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 Here we are, God, we who have sworn an oath to live according to your Word and then misrepresented that Word in every possible way and claimed to do it in your name. Here we are, God, using your law to darken the paths of those whom we judge unworthy of your grace, to steal life from those whom we deem unfit for redemption while we claim that life belongs to all. We have strayed from your precepts, have forgotten your law. Forgive us, we pray, and lead us by the light of your Word made flesh, your commandment to Love, and the hope of life eternal that comes through the salvation we know in your Son, Jesus Christ. 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, removing it as far as the east is from the west, and remembering it no more. Hear the Good News: in the name of Jesus Christ, the Living Word, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God!
