* Prayer of Confession LISTEN IN
Merciful
God, forgive us for the sins we intentionally commit and those we
commit by neglecting what we should do; for the sins we enjoyed and
those we did not; for the sins with which we hurt ourselves and those
when we hurt others; for the sins which we committed that caused
embarrassment to your church and to our families; and for the sin of
thinking of ourselves when we should have thought of others. Merciful
God, we humbly ask your pardon. May your cleansing Spirit wash over us
and remove the guilt and stains of those sins. With your grace and
forgiveness, help us live as Jesus Christ asked and commanded us to do.
We pray this to the glory and in the name of Christ our Savior. Amen.
