Prayer Of Confession, July 14, 2024
Holy and eternal God, your promises are sure and your words are trustworthy and true. Yet we confess that we have been taken in by deceptive words, borne the burden of needless worry, harbored pointless fears, and nursed anxieties that have weakened our faith. You have spoken to us persistently, but we have not listened; you have called to us, but we, your church, have refused to hear you. Merciful God, forgive us; do not cast us from your sight. Grant us courage, wisdom, and a willing spirit, to repent of past sins and not return to them again, to wait upon you to fulfill your Word, and to do so watchfully and with unfailing faith in Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray. Amen
