Here’s a beautiful prayer of confession and petition written by John Birch on his great Faith and Worship website.
Prayer
‘Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord” –
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.’ Psalm 32:5
Love
has its source in you
Creator God
flows from you like an ocean
into a world as unyielding
as any shoreline cliff
And like the ocean
which batters
erodes
and wears away
even the hardest stone
your love persists
finds cracks and inlets
in hardened hearts
flows inside and works a miracle.
which batters
erodes
and wears away
even the hardest stone
your love persists
finds cracks and inlets
in hardened hearts
flows inside and works a miracle.
Who would think that water
was more powerful than granite
love mightier
than the hardest heart
Thank you, Creator God
for the power of your love
was more powerful than granite
love mightier
than the hardest heart
Thank you, Creator God
for the power of your love
