Prayer Of Confession, March 3, 2024
O Lord, do not issue your rebuke in anger or administer discipline in your wrath. For our iniquities have overwhelmed us, and they weigh like a burden too heavy to bear. We are spent; we are crushed. Our hearts throb and our strength fails at the remembrance of sins we cannot undo. Yet you know the longing of each heart, the depth of our groaning, and our sighing is not hidden from you. It is for you, O God, that we wait, and it is you who will answer. We confess our iniquity; we are sorry for our sin. Redeem and forgive us, O Lord . Do not forsake your people, and do not be far from us; but make haste to help us, O Lord , our salvation! We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen
