Here’s a
thoughtful prayer of confession from Rev. Gord’s Worship Offerings blog.
Prayer of Confession
for Thanksgiving
Gracious
Creator,
you have
given us so much,
but too
often we take those gifts for granted,
or as
something to which we are entitled.
You call us
to live in caring community,
but too
often we place our wants and needs first,
with those
of others a distant second.
You call us
to share Your gifts with the world around us,
but we are
worried that there may not be enough,
and our
worrying gets in the way of our sharing.
For all the
times when we mistreat and misuse Your gifts,
for all the
times we assume that we get what we have by ourselves,
forgive us
and lead us back to the path of wisdom.
…time of silent prayer…
God is a
gracious giver.
God is
gracious in forgiveness.
God calls
us to new patterns and new life.
We are a
forgiven people!
Thanks be to God! Amen
