Prayer Of Confession, September 8, 2024
Good and gracious Lord, pardon us for all our sins as we set our hearts to seek you. Forgive us for your name’s sake, even though we have not kept your laws. Hear our cry, heal this land, and sanctify us for your service, that we may show those in need of hope the face of the redeemed. For the many sins of this land have reached your ears, and we have seen with our own eyes how devastating is your wrath. Stay your hand, O Lord, by your mercies, that we might live and serve under your grace. Have compassion on us, and direct us to those who long to receive compassion and relief from their trials. Help us, in repentance and faith, to order our lives in a manner that is consistent with you as first in all things, with worshiping you as you desire, in truth and justice and humility. This we ask for your name’s sake. Amen
