Prayer Of Confession, November 12, 2023
O Lord, deal with me for your name’s sake, and not according to what my sins deserve. For evils without number have encompassed me; my iniquities have overtaken me, until I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me. May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!” As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God. I will trust you, O Lord, and exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities, and you have set my feet in a broad place. I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege. I said in my alarm, “I am driven far from your sight.” But you heard my supplications as I cried to you for help. Amen
