Prayer Of Confession, September 22, 2024
For your name’s sake, O Lord , pardon my guilt, for it is very great. My eyes are ever toward you, O Lord ; turn and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted; my heart is contrite and I renounce all that offends you. May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. Relieve the depravity of my heart, and lift me out of my distress. Consider your servant, and forgive all my sins. Consider how many forces tempt and oppose and seek to make your people stumble! O guard and deliver the lives of your elect; do not let those who bear your name be put to shame, for you are our refuge. Redeem your children, O God, out of all their troubles. Wash and cleanse us, that we may share with you in your ministry of redemption and service. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son, our Redeemer. Amen
