* Prayer of Confession
Lord,
we look for you in the wrong places. We put our trust in material
things. We worry about things we cannot change. We wonder if you are
even there at all. For all the times we have doubted you, Lord, forgive
us. For all the ways we have neglected your word and ignored your
people, forgive us. Do not be far from us, Lord. There is no one else
we can turn to for help. Renew our fickle hearts and help us put our
trust in you. Amen.
*Silent Confession
*Declaration of Forgiveness
Pastor:
Happy is the person whose hopes are in God. God loves and restores us,
straightening us out. Friends, believe the good news.
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Amen.
