Prayer Of Confession, June 30, 2024
Sovereign Lord , we confess that often we miss the point of your many witnesses. Some of us ignore the written word of your Son, the Living Word to whom it testifies. Others go beyond what is written, beyond the teaching of Christ, and lose sight entirely of your new creation, your revealed promise, and your powerful kingdom. One way or another, sin clouds our vision, selfishness distracts us from your will, and pride undermines the loyal service we would render you. Forgive us, Lord , and restore to us a right and proper devotion to your Son, that your Word might abide in us and we in him, and when the Day discloses our work, we will most assuredly be saved and the works that you have given us to do may prove to be endowed with your Spirit. Amen
