Gracious Lord, we confess that we have dishonored you in our words, thoughts and deeds.
Depending on our strength, we have stumbled.
Trusting in our goodness, we have become prideful.
Confident in our plans for our lives we have failed to seek your will.
We pray now, Lord, for you to forgive all of our many sins;
to cleanse the unrighteousness from our lives,
and to turn from our faces and our hearts back towards you.
We pray these things in the name of your most precious son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousnesses. Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. But to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousnesses. Romans 4:3-5
