Prayer Of Confession, May 12, 2024
Almighty God, we live in an age that constantly questions authority. We confess that we too have been slow to heed your messengers, to acknowledge the authority of your Word and your Spirit, to believe and obey the gospel of your Son, our Sovereign, Jesus Christ. We have too often feared human opinions more than your holy judgments. Forgive us, Lord, for our rebellion and for the vile fruit this disobedience has borne. Make us new by the transforming power and grace of your Spirit, that we might gain victory over the forces that have bound us, and bear good and lasting fruit for the kingdom of your beloved Son, in whose holy name we pray. Amen
