Prayer Of Confession, December 22, 2024
If we look at our own lives, we must confess the mixture of giving and selfishness, our waiting on the Lord and to an endless rush, our missing the mark of Advent. Lord, forgive our frantic ways and misplaced efforts. But we can also trust in God, who still brings us salvation, who still supplies us strength, who hears our songs of gratitude, who accepts our joyful praise. Let us shout it in church and in this community: The Lord’s great name will still be praised. His saving deeds support our lives. His greatness still astounds us. The Holy One of Israel is among us. The manger shall lead us to the cross. Praise the Lord and sing for joy. For Jesus’ sake, Amen
